‘Zombieland’

Zombieland, directed by Ruben Fleischer and starting Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, is a fantastic movie.   I love zombies.  I love comedies.  Oddly enough, the two genres go together like chocolate and peanut butter.  First there was Shaun of the Dead and now Zombieland.

Who knew the undead apocalypse could be so funny?

Woody Harrelson is fantastic.  He hasn’t been this funny since Cheers.  Then again, I don’t know if he’s played a comedic role lately.  Most of the movies he’s appeared in lately have been dramas.

Zombieland isn’t a drama.

There’s a major cameo in the movie that I don’t want to spoil for anyone.  He didn’t appear in any of the commercials or the trailers, so I don’t want to mention who it is.

Speaking of commercials, the Johnny Cash song, Country Boy, appeared in the commercials for Zombieland, but didn’t appear in the movie.  I hate when this happens.  After seeing the commercial for Zombieland numerous times, I identify the the song with the movie.  It’s annoying when the song doesn’t appear in the film.
