Zombieland

Zombieland is two-thirds a great film. The first and second acts work quite well, following a specific genre formula. But by the end of the film you're asking yourself what else is there to do but for the characters to kill more zombies in new and unusual ways. And that's basically all they do.
Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson are two survivors of a world wide zombie disease who meet cute on the road to survival. You could call them Alpha Dog and Little Puppy, such are their characters, but they go by the names of their former stomping ground, respectively Columbus and Tallahassee. Zombieland exists in a universe of logic free mayhem. As long as the viewer doesn't question why characters have perfect make-up despite not having taken a shower in ages or the inevitable unlimited ammunition that always comes in handy when you're faced with hordes of the undead then a good time will be had.
During their highway travels Columbus and Tallahassee team up with their distaff dopplelgangers Emma Stone (Wichita) and Abigail Breslin (Little Rick) although not before some conflict causes them to doubt the other's loyalty. Sure enough the film has some great camerawork, especially shots of the long winding road, and a clever way of inserting graphics over the image. That said, Zombieland is smart to be short and sweet at under 90-minutes because the film paints itself in a corner with its constant barrage of carnage. As a zombie comedy it's a great diversion but nowhere near as funny as Shaun of the Dead. There's a bit of social commentary, like Columbus commenting on how nobody uses Facebook anymore but we're miles from the intellectual content of a George Romero film.
Not oddly the film's big celebrity cameo moment was a cat out of the bag before the film opened. The quartet get to the west coast and using a star map locate the manse of Bill Murray. Zombieland's all downhill after this sequence. As much as people reacted with glee at the Murray appearance the audience I saw the film with, over 100 people, rapidly left the theater during the credit roll and missed the after the credits scene with Murray and Harrelson.
