Zombieland (2009)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.39:1 88m
Director: Ruben Fleischer
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin
Synopsis:
Four survivors of a zombie apocalypse head west, you guessed it, to L.A. Depressing to say, their motives are hedonistic and, on the part of the makers, do not appear in the least ironic.
Review:
The world did not need another zombie movie, much less a jokey one (aren't they all?). Eisenberg does his Allen-esque dweeb schtick as narrator, and there is even a cameo or two, but it's no good, wanton destruction just isn't that funny. The roads are too empty, there are far too few zombies, and such that there are seem only to dwell in 7-11s, presumably eating Twinkies. At least it's short. (A sequel followed ten, yes ten, years later, proving that not even bad American movies lie down and die when their time has come.)
