    Its nice to see another Zombie/Comedy film after the success of 'Shaun of The Dead'. Featuring a superb cast of Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and a fantastic cameo from *SPOILER REMOVED*. 'Zombieland' also features both creepy scenarios and nice humour.

    One of the stand out movies of 2009, funny, violent, zombie filled and most of all original.

    "Zombieland" is a great movie with a lot of funny scenes. The pacing is perfect and the interactions between the characters will keep you engaged. One thing I particularly like is how throughout the film Columbus goes over rules on how to survive the zombie apocalypse. Double tap... read more, now that couldn't be true enough.

    This movie completely surprised me. A lot of fun.

    Hilarious and violent...sounds silly, but Zombieland isn't. It's the perfect combination of both; it's a film well-done. Perfect cast of Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, and of course the always humorous Bill Murray. Well written. Awesome action and ... read moreviolence. Great humor.

    An entertaining movie. I, like everyone else, enjoyed the Bill Murray stuff the best. Woody Harrelson is also hilarious, but the whole showing the rules every other scene was kind of annoying. And also, I don't know much about the zombie movie rules, but I'm smart enough to know ... read morethat if you turn on all the lights at an amusement park, it's probably going to attract something.

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

Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader

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

David Jenkins, Time Out

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. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

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

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

This movie is fundamentally empty. Full Review

There are even a few poignant moments in the movie, but they don't get in the way of the funny, violent, zombie-killing good time. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

At a brisk 80 minutes, the flick isn't a minute too short. Better yet, for those with a sweet fang for confections, it's far more charming than chilling and way more funny than frightening. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News

It's a black-blood-spitting mugging of a movie, but it's also relentlessly funny and innovative, the sort of film that makes you writhe and laugh at the same time. Full Review

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

We won't ruin it. Let's just say that if laughter distinguishes humans from zombies, then you'll know just how human you are after the quartet's visit to a mansion in Los Angeles. Full Review
