As Tallahassee sets out on a mission to find the last Twinkie on Earth, the duo meets up with Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), two young girls who have resorted to some rather unorthodox methods to survive amidst the chaos.

Reviews for Zombieland
Zombieland does well enough in its early minutes, then picks up a little unexpected speed when Columbus meets another "noncannibal survivor" (played by a perfect Woody Harrelson).
Director Ruben Fleischer eventually ignores the need to tie things up neatly in favor of what we came to Zombieland for, creative ways to kill zombies.
Zombieland is, in essence, Shaun's clumsy, goofy but fun-as-hell American cousin.
Harrelson and co-star Emma Stone do a good job of embodying comedically hardened B-movie action heroes.
Surprisingly cute for a movie awash in blood, entrails and icky zombie drool, admirably brisk ... and occasionally scary, especially if zombies creep the bejesus out of you.
At 81 minutes, Fleischer's debut is cheerfully macabre, briskly paced, brimming with demented energy, and otherwise totally disposable.
Thankfully there's nothing remotely serious about Zombieland. It's just a heck of carnival attraction (Shoot the ducks/Shoot the zombies) on a roller coaster filled with laughs.
Zombieland will earn its place right next to Shawn of the Dead as a good comedy.
The best zombie exploitation film since Shaun of the Dead. With Twinkies.
No matter what genre you peg "Zombieland" in, the fact is that it's one damn great piece of film making and likely one of my favorite films of 2009...
Ultimately, Zombieland works best as pure, breezy entertainment with a pinch of depth.
After the mandatory splatter scenes, Ruben Fleischer’s film becomes more character-driven and enjoyable.
There are more than enough good gags, but no moments that'll make you gag.
While not as clever as Shaun or as scary as parts of Dawn, this horror comedy does pull off a minor coup in its genre%u2014it successfully uses a zombie apocalypse as the setting for a romantic comedy/family picture.
