Zombieland

Zombielnd is another zombie movie as you can see in the title. I thought it was a horror film because I was not able to see the trailer but it turns out to be a comedy film. The story is about a college student, Columbus played by Jesse Eisenberg, who tries to survive everyday life by avoiding zombies and following the rules he had made in order for him to live longer. Along his journey he met Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson, who is on a mission to find Twinkies. At first it was weird but as the movie goes, Tallahassee is really obsessed with Twinkies. Then they met Wichita, Emma Stone, who eventually became Columbus’ girlfriend and her little sister Little Rock, Abigail Breslin.

The characters in zombieland were funny that while watching the film, you would not see it as a zombie movie. It was more of like a game battling your way to the finish line with your newly found buddies. All of them except Abigail Breslin were fit for their roles because I think that Abigail should stick to movies like “Little Miss Sunshine”. She was not fit for the “Little Rock” role because she looked innocent and plain. Little Rock should have some attitude like maybe, Dakota Fanning. It would have been more interesting if it were Dakota Fanning who played the role Little Rock.
At first, I had the feeling that the film would be scary but since at the start of the movie it was funny, the suspense feeling was gone but then every time that the zombies should make you shout or get shocked, I guess it was the editing that did the job and before you realize it, your laughing already.

Zombieland was a nice movie for me but it had no sense. It is just your typical comedy/horror film that at the end of the day, you have a smile on your face even though it had no sense. If you are just looking for laughs then you should watch this movie.
