Napoleon Dynamite meets Woody Harrelson in a Zombie World

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2009)

That's the way I felt about the movie. I didn't really think of this as an American answer to Shaun of the Dead. Shaun is pretty unique (to this day at least) and really funny. Zombieland is a Zombie action comedy like Shaun, but that's pretty much all these two movies have in common!
Were Shaun had a different kind of world and the characters had some goals they wanted to go/achieve, the two main characters in Zombieland don't have that. It pretty much plays like a sketch show, with different settings holding the movie together rather than a story that runs through it. A cameo, that might seem a bit weird, especially the way it does end, is just another testament to that.
But again, this movie is here, for you to enjoy and not to compare to other things. So if you like zombie movies and like to be entertained in general, than you shouldn't worry and give this a watch!
