I put off seeing Zombieland (2009) for a while because I'd heard it was good and I was waiting for the post-Oscar season lull to catch up on some good movies from the year before. I wasn't let down by this one.
The story takes place after the zombie apocalypse, where most of the world has been turned into the walking dead and those who are still human have to deal with their new surroundings. We follow a 20-something boy who has created a list of basic rules he uses to stay alive in the new world. He meets up with a man, and eventually two girls, as they come and go from each other's stories and, in the end, decide it's better to stay together. The stand-out part of the movie involves the group taking shelter in a certain movie star's mansion and discovering that the place isn't exactly empty.
The movie is constantly and consistently funny while bringing some perspective into how real people might deal with being placed in a zombie film. I loved it. (8.7/10)
