Zombieland
I saw this on Sunday, and it easily the funniest movie I have seen this year.
It is basically a buddy road movie. The "buddies" have two different quests. Columbus is a loner who wants to get home to his family. He lives by his rules which have kept him from being caught by zombies.
Rule 1: Cardio
Rule 2: Beware of Bathrooms
Rule 3: Seatbelts
Rule 4: Doubletap
and on and on it goes. Each rule is demonstrated to hilarious effects.
Tallahassee is Woody Harrelson at his irreverent best. His quest is to get somewhere. But more importantly, his quest is to find an edible Twinkie. One of the funnier moments, and there are literally loads of them is when he comes across a Hostess (company that makes Twinkies) delivery truck, opens it up and finds Snoballs. Tallahassee thinks the way I do - Snoballs are gross and certainly not worth the effort.
Along the way, they meet Little Rock and Witchita who have their own quest to get to Paradise Playland "the only place where there are no Zombies". The journey is so funny, that I found myself crying with laughter in places. The movie is a compact 87 minutes, so there is no time to waste.
There is a sequence that is so funny, that if you know what it is, please do not spoil it for others. I knew what it was, but it actually didn't matter to me. When it came, I ROFLMAO.
Please, please if you get the chance see this movie. Yes it's gory in a Shaun of the Dead way, zombies get killed in a variety of ways, some funny, some very bloody, but you will not even notice that because you can barely see the screen for the tears.
Go, go now!
