To get? Or not to get?" That is the question. Zombieland IS that movie. Some people will walk in and laugh like the dickens, others won't.
Zombieland stars Woody Harrelson and others in a satirical look at the "Zombie" movies that Hollywood has been making for decades. I must admit, I finally learned what a "zombie" is! In Zombieland, it is a virus that is infecting the majority of Americans, and makes ordinary people turn into ravenous, cannibals that have to eat humans in order to survive! Who knew?
Our cast of characters here are not Zombies and want to stay that way. Two guys, two girls making their was across the country, trying to find a "zombieless" place, and fighting them off all the way. That's pretty much the premise here. This is not a deep plot, or War And Peace! This is Zombieland!
First and foremost, this is one violent movie. But hold on. There is about a million zombie kills in this flick, and they off them about in every way imaginable. But it's all done in a comic, satirical style that takes pretty much all the bite out of it. It's laughable to be honest, and that's the whole idea here. It's parody. It doesn't mean that it's not hard to watch sometimes, but it helps.
Zombieland will be a huge hit with the young crowd, and some will see this flick again and again. You might want to leave Nana at home here. This is a movie that a group of young friends can go to together and have a good laugh or two. I have to admit, the satire, parody, and shear absurdity did make me laugh a few times, and a couple rather hard. But it won't tickle everyone.
Zombieland. A bunch of ridiculous laughs...and we could use some.
