Zombieland (2009)

All Critics (215) | Top Critics (34) | Fresh (197) | Rotten (22) | DVD (8)

Wildly implausible, slightly scary and plot-lite though Zombieland is, it stands to add a few comic bons mots to popular parlance.

Scattershot but sharp, this postapocalyptic road comedy gives Shaun of the Dead a run for its money.

Director Ruben Fleischer has his eyes trained on the comic jugular, and he attains an astronomical laugh count from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernickat's fizzing, pop-savvy script.

By the time Zombieland reached its climax, I actually cared about who lived and died, and that reaction honestly took me by surprise.

[E]verything Jennifer's Body was not--fast, funny, and fully aware of the obligations and opportunities inherent in the genre.

This movie is fundamentally empty.

The last word in zombie movies -- funny, touching and romantic.

The zombie film has never been so funny or so cool.

It's Zombieland's delightfully offbeat characters that give the movie its staying power.

Now this isn't the most violent film I've ever seen, but it is certainly one of the only films in which the infliction of violence (gut-churning violence) brings people together. And to that I say ... finally!

Zombieland is nowhere near the classic it has been labelled, and is more a film that will be encrusted in this time and place. Give it a few years, and it will seem as relevant as the latest game console.

Zombieland will undoubtedly become the new zombie-comedy cult classic for the current generation.

Mildly enjoyable throughout...[the film] has a hard time competing with its own trailer.

No Shaun of the Dead, but an enthusiastic comedy all its own.

Horror-comedy hybrid is gory, crude ... and funny.

Embora não tão inteligente quanto Todo Mundo Quase Morto ou tão engraçado quanto Débi & Lóide, Zumbilândia acaba se estabelecendo como uma mistura improvável destes dois ótimos filmes.

Zombies as good clean fun, I mean, good messy fun!

This is proof that horror movies can really be funny. It wasn't just the violent humor, but the little sidetrips for twinkies and Bill Murray's zombie makeup that sent this film into zombie heaven. Murray's best line is if he had any regrets and he said

A quin se le ocurri que a los fanticos del cine de zombies se los iba a conformar con una breve aparicin de Bill Murray y una cita a Los Cazafantasmas? Un poco ms de respeto!

A constantly clever comedy whose characters have amusingly direct motives (i.e. Tallahassee wants a Twinkie above all else) that disguise some genuine losses.

Great, snappy fun, featuring, by way of a nice change, characters you genuinely do not want to see get chomped.

Rip It Up

Zombieland is a road movie, a little meta-commentary on zombie movie mayhem, and an extremely violent and pretty funny comedy.
