“Zombieland” — A Hollywood Reporter Review

September 28, 2009 by Michael Hickerson   || Category: Film Reviews

zombielandBottom Line: A bloody, disgusting blast.

Falling closer in tone to “Shaun of the Dead” than “28 Days Later” or the George Romero movies, “Zombieland” has its tongue planted firmly in its rancid cheek while still delivering the visceral goodies.

It’s an admittedly tricky balance that’s pulled off with energetic panache by first-time director Ruben Fleischer and the writing team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. It also has perfectly pitched performances, including the cameo of the year by Bill Murray. But more about that in a bit.

    I was hoping this would get good reviews. I’m looking forward to it.

    It was fun. However, near the end of the movie I was thinking, “They should make a video game based on this movie; oh no wait, this movie is based on a video game.”
    Nothing negative about that, just an observation.

    Other than the over the top opening credits, this movie was really good, fun, and not disturbing in the way movies about the undead can typically be.

    Can I have another one please?
