This movie is about the last 4 living human beings on Earth and how they try to survive in a world full of zombies with the simple outlined rules of Zombieland. The main character Columbus comes up with said rules at the very beginning of the zombie epidemic. As the movie begins the rules are all revealed with the reason why it is so important to follow. Like rule number 5 states, “No attachments” because once it comes down to it you need to out run your opponent without any remorse. This is why when the characters first cross paths they decided to refer to each other by the town that they are trying to get to or are from such as Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, and Little Rock.
This is Jesse Eisenberg second movie as the main character and we can see why. He is very good at portraying the role he is given Columbus who is the young boy looking for a new life and to land the girl in the end. Also featured by his side is everyone’s favorite movie tough guy, Woody Harrelson. He plays this role with ease because all he has to do is carry a gun around and kill zombies. Let’s not forget his hilarious one-liners and his quest for one last Twinkie. Then the last two characters, who play the sisters, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin are almost so convincing that they could actually be sisters with their witty comebacks and devilish exchanged looks.
Just from the first ten minutes of the film you can tell that Columbus’ character is going to warm the heart of the tough guy Tallahassee and that together they will save the two girls, Wichita and Little Rock. Columbus has a shy personality and a safe way of going through life and Tallahassee has the kicking butt and taking names attitude.
The theme is all about survival and friendship because who wouldn’t like to have a friend help out when you’re fighting to survive in a pack of flesh eating zombies? I think what you are trying to get out of this movie is no matter how bad it seems it’s always nice to have a good friend handy to get you through those bad times.
I agree with the critic that the movie is very enjoyable movie and that it gives you something to think about. I certainly enjoyed the movie it had a lot of good moments and a few funny surprises. I think this would be a great movie for you to watch if you enjoy a little zombie killing with a side of humor.

I agree with what you said about Zombieland. Jesse Eisenberg does do a good job at portraying his character. I also agree that Woody Harrelson’s role in the film is easy. Basically all he has to do in the film is walk around with a gun on him and shoot zombies whenever he encounters them. I found Woody Harrelson’s character’s quest for Twinkies all the time hilarious. The actors Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone do almost look like sisters in the movie. They both have the same hair color, and the comebacks they say are witty. I didn’t realize that Tallahassee and Columbus were going to save Wichita and Little Rock until a little bit later in the movie. I think Columbus is shy and does play it safe most of the time. I agree with what you said that no matter how bad things seem, it is good to have someone right beside you to get through those bad times. I think the movie was enjoyable too but I don’t think it gives you something to think about. I enjoyed the movie too and it would be perfect for people who enjoy a lot of blood and gore in the movies that they watch. -Quoc N
