It's an okay DVD rental choice but doesn't go beyond that.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 11, 2017

With its quick pace and witty writing, it's a nonstop, snarky ride.

| Jul 19, 2017

It is never properly scary. Mostly, it is just very silly, but because the film knows it is silly, it's all rather infectious and not the big, cliché-pumped bore it might otherwise have been.

Warts, entrails and all, I had a ball at Zombieland. It's 81 minutes of my kind of stupid.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 8, 2013

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.

| Oct 8, 2013

Packed with the genre's standard overdose of blood and guts. Add in a charming band of misfits and you get something thrilling, hilarious and sweet, all at the same time.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 12, 2010

Wildly implausible, slightly scary and plot-lite though Zombieland is, it stands to add a few comic bons mots to popular parlance.

| Dec 16, 2009

Scattershot but sharp, this postapocalyptic road comedy gives Shaun of the Dead a run for its money.

| Dec 16, 2009

The only quibble is that unlike a classic horror comedy such as An American Werewolf in London, Zombieland goes for the laughs over providing any genuine scares.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2009

Inspiration is pretty fallow after about half an hour.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 16, 2009

Yet there are moments of sheer inventive genius that left me amazed.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2009

Very funny, often thrilling and full of neat little touches that should make it entirely rewatchable, Zombieland sees Fleischer join the ranks of directors - Romero, Wright, Raimi, Snyder - whose first films aren't just zombie films, but great films.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2009

Director Ruben Fleischer has his eyes trained on the comic jugular, and he attains an astronomical laugh count from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernickat's fizzing, pop-savvy script.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2009

The pacing is lackadaisical and the plot riddled with holes, but the movie is savvy enough mostly to eschew excessive gore in favour of amiably droll lines.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2009

A very ridiculous film which is also a treat.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2009

It's fitting that Zombieland ends up in an amusement park, because it basically is one. You get your money's worth.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2009

Frothy and forgettable, and, like any black comedy, funny even, or especially, when it shouldn't be.

| Oct 9, 2009

A zombie comedy funnier than Shaun of the Dead? They said it couldn't be done, but here it is.

| Oct 9, 2009

The narrative suffers from a recurrent limp but there are memorable high notes, namely a genius cameo by the ever marvellous Bill Murray as himself.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2009

Yes, it's got zombies. Yes, it's got jokes. But it's soulless - dead behind the eyes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2009
