Zombieland in a Nutshell.

Occasionally, if I see a movie a week or two after it comes out I'll do what I'm calling a nutshell review which means that it will only be one or two paragraphs summarizing the film. My first nutshell review is the R-rated zombie flick, Zombieland.
Within the first five seconds of the film you see a zombie tear out a piece of human flesh and start devouring the person's insides. Then it flashes to all kinds of cannibalism with people being eaten, zombies being shot, people getting thrown out of their cars and splattering on the road...and that's just in the first five minutes. Yes, Zombieland is defiantly the most disgusting movie I've ever seen. But it had plenty of laughs, loads of great action and showed us a crazy world where in order to survive you have to "nut up or shut up."
In Zombieland we see two characters, Columbus and Tallahassee, who, we find out later on, are both looking for a family to not feel as alone in the apocalyptic world. However, at first, Tallahassee doesn't show it. Instead, he does all he can to kill all the zombies he can find in a number of different ways. Soon the two find two other girls that are on their way to California and eventually they decide to team up. Together they travel across the country fighting zombies and growing closer to each other and becoming a family. One of the last lines of the film were, "We had hope, we had each other."
This film had plenty of laughs throughout the entire film both physical and verbal. This film also featured the best actor cameos and one of the funniest scenes I've seen all year. The action was amazing. It was a truly fun film to watch. Just to give you a little taste...Most of you know the swing rides they have at all the fairs where you get into a chair, it lifts you up, and it swings you around right? Well in the climax, Tallahassee runs up, jumps on this ride holding on with one hand, and shooting zombies with a machine gun with the other. AMAZING!
The only downsides to this film to me was that, since I don't have a strong stomach, I felt disgusted with the first ten minutes of the film. Also, the movie was decorated with f-bombs and other cursing that was unnecessary. However, Zombieland was a great film that I won't mind spending money on when it comes out on DVD. 2 stars out of 4.
Zombieland is rated R for horror/violence, gore, and language. It has a running time of about 80 minutes.
