Very Very Funny

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2009)

I saw zombieland last weekend with a group of friends, and i have to say it was one of the funniest movies I have seen in quite some time. While it does fall under the genre of zombie/horror films it doesn't exactly live up to that description, i would say it was way more into the comedy drama.
As one could expect the plot and storyline were not very in depth, and the movie left very little to be had that wasn't in the previews. However, there were a few brief shining moments of an in-depth plot, especially when it came to the past lives of the main characters, before they came to live in zombieland.
The acting amongst the characters and their relationships i thought was decent, at least enough so that it got the story going and kept it going, and left no dead spaces in the film. From beginning to end i was involved and entertained by this film. Woody Harrelson was the one who most surprised me, and i was very impressed by. Seeing as the last movie i had seen him in was kingpin, i went into the movie with the feeling he was going to be the weak point, however i felt he brought the film together quiet well. His out of control antics and over the top hatred for zombies mirrored his father-figure roll in the group and his devastating past(thats a spoiler i'll leave out for those who haven't seen the film).
Overall i definitely enjoyed this film, and can't wait for the DVD release to see it again. Filled with a lot of moments that made me yell in excitement, Zombieland left no horror film death untouched, and no joke untold.
