ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP


Woody Harrelson is hilarious. In fact, all of the actors are great. Abigail Breslin, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenburg, Zoey Deutch and Rosario Dawson are all terrific. Hey, Luke Wilson even shows up for a bit part! As good as the original Zombieland movie was, I dare say the sequel is even better. It’s certainly funnier. It had me laughing so hard my sides hurt. It’s quite a pallet cleanser after being a huge follower of the Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. As Heath Ledger’s Joker would say, “Why so serious?”

This time around, the zombies are mutating into stronger, faster killing machines, think Terminator. (Except for the “Homers.” No spoilers. Watch for yourself.) Zoey Deutch is perfect as the ultimate dumb blonde. (At the White House, she says, while standing in it, “So this is the oval office. Why do they call it that?”)

Emma Stone is as cute as a bug as always, even when brandishing an automatic machine gun, and Harrelson is at his good ol’ boy best, from the Earnhardt “3” painted on the side of his truck to his love of Elvis and disdain for hippies.

This is one hilarious flick. Especially if you like Walking Dead or George Romero movies.
