2009 has been a big drag in terms of entertainment. It seems like there hasn’t been a genuinely good movie come out that audiences could get truly excited about. Well, now we have Zombieland, and it is AWESOME.
Zombieland, as the name implies, takes place in a time when the world has become over run with zombies to the point that they outnumber normal humans. It focuses on four people, identified by where they are from only. There is Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg. Columbus is a kid who is just looking for a place to call home. Then there is Wichita (played by Emma Stone), a big sister who has survived living in Zombieland by not trusting anyone except for her little sister, Little Rock. Little Rock (played by Abigail Breslin) is a kid who has been deprived of her childhood because of the Zombie Apocalypse. Little Rock and Wichita are trying to make it to an amusement park that is supposedly zombie free, and to give Little Rock at least one night of just being a kid. Accompanying all three of them is zombie killer extraordinaire Tallahassee, played brilliantly by Woody Harrelson. Tallahassee doesn’t want to get close to people and values only one thing: Twinkies. He argues that soon Twinkies will all be expired and unedible, and therefor need to be cherished/eaten when found.
This film was FUN. That’s all there is to say. It was the most fun zombie movie I had ever seen, and not because of the zombie killing. It’s fun because the characters do EXACTLY what you say you would do if you had almost an entire planet to yourself. Easily the most memorable scene in the movie is when they go to Hollywood and decide to stay in the presumably empty home of a celebrity who will remain unnamed because it is quite possibly the best cameo of all time. The action in this is solid, but it’s the comedy that stands out more than anything else. There’s nothing else I can possibly say other than GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
