Columbus has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Reviews

Chris Hewitt, Empire:

Zombieland takes place in an unabashed fantasy world where little old ladies can crush zombies with grand pianos, Looney Tunes-style, and where the zombie apocalypse is merely an excuse for four characters to have the run of America, driving around like they own the place, wallowing in luxury mansions and – occasionally – bumping into, and summarily dispatching, some zombies.

Bruce Diones, New Yorker:

Woody Harrelson has a rip-roaring time in this comic splatterfest as a redneck from hell who is out to kill zombies. It’s the kind of genre acting that doesn’t get much notice, but it’s a gleeful rampage of a performance.

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune:

It’s 81 minutes of my kind of stupid.

Nigel Andrews, Financial Times:

It is frothy and forgettable, and, like any black comedy, funny even, or especially, when it shouldn’t be.
