Synopsis
In the early twenty-first century, zombies have taken over America. A shy and inexperienced college student in Texas has survived by following his 30 rules: such as “look in the back seat,” “double-tap,” “avoid public restrooms.” He decides to travel to Ohio to see if his parents are alive. He gets a ride with a boisterous zombie-hating good-old boy headed for Florida, and soon they confront a young woman whose sister has been bitten by a zombie and wants to be put out of her misery. The sisters were headed to an LA amusement park they’ve heard is zombie free. Can the kid from Ohio get to his family? And what about rule thirty one? –IMDb

this was a great film in the beginning...to quote Freaks & Geeks in regards to Stripes (Bill Murray film...gotcha!)...it was lopsided...the end became too emotional without keeping its humor. i still think shaun of the dead is the best funny zombie movie ever made and would suggest it over this film every time.

Fun. Some very clever stuff. But just ... "not quite". There really weren't any character arcs or growth to invest in and thus no real reward. Fun. Definitely fun. But not great.

En general me pareció floja y aburrida. El recurso de las reglas de supervivencia apareciendo en la pantalla una y otra vez llega a hacerse cansón. Lo mejor: la destrucción catártica de la tienda de objetos y motivos indígenas, la divertida y absurda secuencia en la casa de Bill Murray y el clímax demencial en el parque de atracciones. Abigail Breslin y Emma Stone transmiten energía y frescura.

I always wondered why Shaun of the Dead did not ignite a ZomCom wave. Maybe becaue it was British and quite off-beat, but the more reason for Hollywood to create a remake ? Zombieland is a quirky Zombie… read review
