Zombieland is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a while and is like a cross between Dawn of the Dead and a very funny movie starring, I don’t know, maybe Bill Murray, you’ll understand when you watch it. The film follows Columbus and other zombie apocalypse survivors as they try to stay alive. After a few basic rules of how to survive in Zombieland, Columbus meets tough guy Tallahassee and they decide to team up. The audience learns that Tallahassee’s survival is fueled by a personal revenge and a love for Twinkies while Columbus tries to learn any information on his hometown and family as they drive around looking for supplies. When Tallahassee decides to search a grocery store for Twinkies, the two meet Wichita, a college aged girl (who Columbus is instantly attracted to) and Little Rock, her 12 year old sister. After a rough start, the four team up to survive and protect each other from the zombie apocalypse.
The seamless combination of comedy and gruesome, action packed zombie killing make this movie an instant classic. The unique and diverse characters play off each other very well which often ends up with the audience in hysterics. Cast members include Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus, Woody Harrelson as Tallahassee, Emma Stone as Wichita, and Bill Murray in a surprise cameo. This movie was a great time and I would recommend it to anyone that appreciates the art of zombie killing.
