Critics Consensus

Wickedly funny and featuring plenty of gore, Zombieland is proof that the zombie subgenre is far from dead.

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

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

The Spectator

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.

Zombieland has all the attributes of a pure blockbuster: a phenomenal cast, a straightforward narrative packed with thrilling sequences, a short runtime with fast pacing, compelling characters, and thousands of zombies.

The zombie comedy was hardly fresh territory when "Zombieland" came along (and really, will anyone top "Shaun of the Dead"?) but it nonetheless does a fine job of mining the humor inherent in the end of the world.

For all its silliness, this is not, pardon the pun, brainless; rather, it’s a ruthlessly funny explosion of zombie-film cliches that somehow doubles as a charming road movie.

I remember watching this when I was 15, with a group of friends at the cinema, I found Woody Harrelson very comical in this film, I thought it was great.

I love this movie but the only reason why I'm rating so low is because of Jesse Eisenberg. He is one of the most annoying actors in existence.
