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

Reviews for Zombieland
Wildly implausible, slightly scary and plot-lite though Zombieland is, it stands to add a few comic bons mots to popular parlance.
12/16/09
Top CriticScattershot but sharp, this postapocalyptic road comedy gives Shaun of the Dead a run for its money.
12/16/09
Top CriticZombieland is a road movie, a little meta-commentary on zombie movie mayhem, and an extremely violent and pretty funny comedy.
12/15/09
The film involves such gratuitous, juicy spatter, Dexter Morgan would have a field day.
12/06/09
The only quibble is that unlike a classic horror comedy such as An American Werewolf in London, Zombieland goes for the laughs over providing any genuine scares.
12/02/09
Zombie comedies have been plentiful since the British-made Shaun of the Dead five years ago, but none has been as funny as Zombieland.
12/02/09
Over-laid with a strain of ironic humour that’s deliciously ridiculous.
12/02/09
A wickedly witty, post-apocalyptic zombie kill-fest that is actually smarter than it is gory, which, of course, it is.
12/02/09
Yes, it's charming, well shot and funny, but there are no real scares to be found.
12/01/09
The one-liners and rapid-fire jokes pull Zombieland back in line when the love hearts begin to fill the screen.
11/30/09
If you want escapism with a capital F for fun, Zombieland is it to a T (with a Zee).
11/30/09
Recommended zom com. You'll never look at cardiovascular workouts in the same way again!
11/24/09
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).
11/19/09
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.
11/09/09
Zombieland is, in essence, Shaun's clumsy, goofy but fun-as-hell American cousin.
11/07/09
Harrelson and co-star Emma Stone do a good job of embodying comedically hardened B-movie action heroes.
11/04/09
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.
11/03/09
The overall results are savvier and cheekier than not.
10/25/09
At 81 minutes, Fleischer's debut is cheerfully macabre, briskly paced, brimming with demented energy, and otherwise totally disposable.
