Most fun I've had at a movie in a long time.

Of course, I'm the target audience, but for me, they delivered.
Absolute blast.

Definitely one of the funnest (and funniest) movies of the year. Best movie since District 9, at the very least.

Awesome.

For some reason I feel like starting a cardio program.

Also its kind of a rip off Max Brooks book called - "The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead" (he is the son of Mel Brooks by the way)

Great book by the way, as is his follow up called "World War Z".

And World War Z is being made into a movie. Haven't read it yet, but I loved the Zombie Survival Guide.

Awesome.

As for the WWZ book you will either hate it or love it. Its very different from the sort of campy style of the first book. It is a little more serious in nature and kind of reads like a UN report rather then a book. It isnt for everyone, but I liked it.

I don't mind that at all. Brooks actually did a little bit of this when he touched on the history of Solanum and zombie outbreaks. I can't wait to pick up World War Z, and I can't wait for the movie.

Definitely a future double-feature in the future with Shaun of the Dead.

It's almost like Shaun was what was happening in England, while Zombieland is about what was happening in the US. Could be the same outbreak!

Reminds me of one of my favorite Shaun quotes, a direct poke at 28 Days Later.

Saw it last night. Hilarious. I thought the Bill Murray cameo was hysterical. "I was never good at practical jokes."
