Zombieland has instantly become a horror favorite of mine (comedic or otherwise). Ultimately, you feel invested in the story and the characters, which – I think – is the most important thing any film of any genre can do. All of the characters feel warm and alive, and what drama there is to be found feels extremely sincere. The most surprising aspect of Zombieland, to me, is how much heart there is. Suffice it to say, this is – hands-down – the best cameo that I've ever seen in a film. There's also a painfully hilarious cameo appearance about mid-way through the film that would be a crime to spoil. Next to that of Woody Boyd on Cheers and Frasier, this is definitely the best performance of his career. The real stand-out performance, though, is Woody Harrelson as the Twinkie-lovin', zombie-hatin' Tallahassee. Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin are also terrific as the sweet, yet tough Wichita and the more-mature-than-she-seems Little Rock, respectively. Eisenberg is awesome as the main protagonist, Columbus, portraying that sense of vulnerability and awkwardness, without becoming too Michael Cera-like. Unlike many comedies in recent memory, in which the majority of laughs are already provided by the trailer, Zombieland is filled to the brim with laugh-out-loud moments, thanks largely to the brilliant cast. Having seen the film, I'm happy to say that Zombieland does just that. Based on the trailers for Zombieland, however, I thought that the film had some serious potential to match Shaun in terms of quality, possibly even usurp it.
