I know there are people out there who don’t like zombie movies, ’cause I’ve met them, and I guess I get why they don’t like zombies, ’cause they’re losers, but still, how can you not like zombies?  Zombies are just fun.  They are scary and cool and creepy and gory and bloody and gross and apocalyptic and awesome.  How is that not a good time?

I have actually seen bad zombie movies so I won’t pretend that everything stamped with zombie is worth seeing but zombies are kind of like the bacon of cinema.  They make everything better.  And Zombieland is just pure zombie.  The plot is thin but that’s not the point.  It’s a comedy.  A horror comedy, but better.  It’s a zomedy.  Not on par with Shaun of the Dead but still a rolicking good time.  It’s about the kills and it’s about the laughs and it’s about laughing at the killing.  Good times. 

It’s also got the warm and fuzzies.  Seriously, it’s a post-apocalyptic story with only four survivors and it’s the feel good movie of the year. 

I only have one major complaint: why is Love Interest wearing so much makeup?  Would you really go to the trouble of applying a pound of eyeshadow when everyone on Earth is dead?
