Spasmo and I just got back from seeing Zombieland. The movie doesn't really have a lot of surprises. If you've seen the previews, you pretty much know what it's about: Post-apocalyptic world with just a few survivors, whose business is killing zombies. And brother, business is GOOD.
This is not a horror flick. However, leave the kids at home as it's extremely gory, but it's clearly intended to be a comedy. It's not slaptstick, however, and the humor is well thought-out and well-timed.
If I had one complaint, it would be the casting of Jesse Eisenberg as the main character. This guy is a Michael Cera wanna-be without the charm. I can only take so much of his milque-toast, whining, too-fast mode of speech before I wanna smack him. If you saw "Adventureland" (a completely different movie in spite of the word "land" in the title), then you're already familiar with the exact character he plays in this movie.
Woody Harrelson, on the other hand, was exactly what you need him to be: A hard-charging, nothing-to-lose dirtbag who's made it his life's goal to rack up as many zombie kills as possible.
If you're a fan of comedies and you're a fan of zombie movies, you'll love Zombieland. I hereby grant this movie the Scutter01 Official Seal of Awesomeness.
