The film is not designed to be taken very seriously given the subject matter of zombies- nor should it.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, the film goes over the top frequently to elicit a good time and plays for laughs. Sometimes it is successful, adding dark comedy to the story, other times the film comes across as silly.<\/p>\n<p>The story takes place during a time when zombies have overtaken the world, and humans are left to fend for themselves and survive.<\/p>\n<p>The film is a more cartoon version of the popular television series, The Walking Dead, despite pre-dating it. It lacks the heavy drama of the series.<\/p>\n<p>Still, for 2009, the film is a novel idea and the movie works more often than not.<\/p>\n<p>Woody Harrelson is amusing and charismatic. Jesse Eisenberg is falling into the Ben Stiller and Will Farrell trap of playing the same character over and over again, and I am personally a big fan of Abigail Breslin and she does not disappoint in this film.<\/p>\n<p>Zombieland (2009) will likely only be remembered as a fun midnight, Saturday night fluff film if that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zombieland-2009 Director Ruben Fleischer Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson Scott&#8217;s Review #586 Reviewed January 6, 2017 Grade: B Zombieland (2009) is a fun, entertaining, popcorn-style flick.
