Zombieland
Stream
Rent & Buy
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.
What critics thought
Zombieland landed as a crowd-pleasing horror-comedy that most critics found genuinely funny and sharply timed, even if its ambitions rarely stretched beyond a good time. The sticking point was the Shaun of the Dead comparison: admirers thought it matched or surpassed that film's blend of laughs and genre craft, while skeptics felt it borrowed the formula without quite matching the wit or the scares. Bill Murray's cameo became almost unanimously the film's most-discussed single moment.
“all of this could have been dreary, but not here. The filmmakers show invention and well-tuned comic timing”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“makes no claims to greatness”
The Boston Globe
“Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg set a high bar for this subgenre with Shaun of the Dead, but Reese, Wernick, and Fleischer may have trumped them”
Richard Corliss·Time
“simply isn't as witty as Shaun of the Dead, forever the yuks-meet-yucks standard”
Joshua Rothkopf·Time Out New York
“[a] minor diversion dripping in splatter and groaning with self-amusement”
Manohla Dargis·The New York Times
