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.

Have you ever thought about how to survive a zombie apocalypse? With a carnival-like tone that smacks more of comedy than horror, this film answers that question. It's all about relaxing and not taking anything too seriously. It's that simple, and it's just right for a Saturday afternoon.

Zombieland is a fast, funny, and inventive take on the zombie genre. The slick cinematography and creative visual gags keep the action lively while Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Emma Stone deliver charismatic, memorable performances. With its sharp humor and stylish direction, it’s a wildly entertaining blend of horror and comedy
