Not too shabby

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2011)

Not being a big fan of Zombie movies, I have to admit I had a blast watching Zombieland. It's the kind of movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, but doesn't get plain goofy on the way either. Somewhat like an American version of Shawn of the Dead (the only other zombie movie I like), it has a good amount of both action and comedy. There is even an intensely sad scene as well, but it is brief enough that it doesn't take much away from the flow of the story while giving a touch of humanity to one of the main characters at the same time. There are a couple of plugs for soda and junk food shoved in there, but overall watching Zombieland is not a bad way to spend an evening.
