Zombieland

In an age when zombie apocalypse plots are a dime a dozen, it was only a matter of time before somebody put a comedic spin on the idea. Shaun of the Dead did it pretty successfully back in 2004, and now Zombieland has been added to the list.

I have no complaints with Zombieland. For what it is, it's extremely well made. It's a ball of fun wrapped in just enough reality to make the characters seem flesh and blood. The cast has great chemistry together. As usual, Woody Harrelson is an absolute joy to watch.

What I love most about this film is it's simplicity. It doesn't try to be anything more than what it is, but it's obvious a lot of time and effort went into making it as good as it could be. Everything has just the right balance. The acting, the emotion, the story, the violence. Nothing ever feels out of place.

Zombieland is a nice break from reality. I strongly suggest it.
