Zombieland

There are movies that you can pretty much tell how they will be from the trailer Zombieland looked funny and original, but I expected the plot to be rather weak I was wrong. the movie is very creative and all 82 minutes are pure entertainment. Woody Harrelson who recently appeared in (No Country For Old Men) gives a fantastic performance as Tallahassee all of the lead roles have names of cities as they want to remain confidential from people they don’t trust. Jesse Eisenberg gives a solid comedic turn as the protagonist his use of sarcasm was amusing. Eisenberg’s character has a set of rules he lives by for survival. These were enjoyable as they appear sporadically throughout the film. The other main characters are a pair of sisters Emma Stone (Superbad) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) Stone shows that she has range with this role and Breslin is maturing as an actress right before our very eyes. The zombie bits are funny but for the most part it’s a story of people coming together in a time of crisis there is a terrific cameo that you should be on the lookout for and the movie was a nice surprise I recommend it if your in the mood for a comedy/horror movie.
