06.19.09 FOR ZOMBIES BY ZOMBIES
Zombieland is a film with a concept so boring I can barely bring myself to write about it. It stars Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg as Columbus and Tallahassee (get it? their names are cities!), two guys who kill zombies. The zombies chase them and want to eat their brains, but they kill them in funny ways, and somehow this goes on for two hours.
Columbus is a big wuss — but when you’re afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee is an AK-toting, zombie-slaying’ bad ass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita [Emma Stone] and Little Rock [Abigail Breslin], who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies. [IMDB]
Well it’s a good thing they didn’t rely on cheap gimmicks. This movie feels like it was written by Judah Friedlander’s hat.

Arbuck: Woody Harrelson is always trying to get the last Twinkie.
Am I alone in thinking Harrelson produced a script by his pot dealer in lieu of payment or something? They should have called it Dead, Where’s My Carbs?
