Zombieland

Woody Harrelson and the star of Adventureland (seems to do well with __land movies), Jesse Eisenberg (Michael Cera 2) star in a comedy zombie movie. Now its not necessarily a spoof movie. It is a zombie movie.

Eisenberg plays a character who is a nerd and relies on strict rules to stay alive. Harrelson is the crazy bad ass type who runs on instincts. They meet up and are headed to their various destinations, when they meet two more humans, 2 girls, played by Emma Stone (Superbad) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). After some deception, they team up to head to LA, where they think there is a safe spot.

Harrelson is back. His acting was perfect. His humor was great. Dry at some times, slapstick at others. His never-ending quest for Twinkies and his "enjoying of the little things" was priceless. Eisenberg plays his nerdy role spot on, not hard for him. His quarks and narration keep the movie going and people laughing.

The timing on all the events were great as was the creativity. However, the zombie aspect made that easy to do. The writers and director really set up a mold and kept with it. It worked perfect. The movie was absolutely hilarious. I'm not going to spoil it, by saying anything about it, but I will mention it since its been already mentioned by others... Bill Murray's cameo was amazing.

The movie doesn't make you think. It makes you laugh, and laugh, and enjoy. Don't go there looking to see something develop and progress. Go there looking to laugh at one of the more creative movies this year.

Definitely, one of the top 2 comedies of the year, with The Hangover only topping it by a little.

This movie is one you can see over and over and not get sick of it.

I rate this movie 9.1 out of 10.
