Yeah... definitely.

With some movies, you see the trailer, and then go see the movie, and all the funny parts were in the trailer. Not Zombieland - as good as the trailer all the way through.

The most fun - and most quotable - movie of the year, by far.

I caught it last night, and I agree. A lot of good lines, loved the characters, and cameo of the year (to say the least). While not the funniest zombie comedy out there (Shaun still holds that tile, lock stock and barrel), it's definitely the best in a while.

Great movie. It's not up to the Shaun of the Dead level, but it's extremely funny. After a slow summer of mostly forgettable movies, it's great to have one with lots of fun lines to quote with my buddy as we left the theater.

I didn't like it. I have a whole tl;dr sort of post on why I didn't like it some where else, but it's kind of rant-y so I'll just leave it and say that I did not enjoy the movie.

Humor being as subjective as it is, no worries. Though I admit I'm a little interested in why you feel that way.

I hadn't laughed very hard in a theater in years, then this year I laugh my ass off in one twice.  Rifftrax live and Zombieland.  Loved everything this movie had to offer.

ScottH, as well as I think I know you, you are going to love the hell out of this movie.

I almost saw this tonight, but a raft of paperwork came in late and I had to give the job to some other lucky bastard while I had to work.   :(

so apparently, this was originally going to be a pilot for a television series, so this would've been like Star Wars: Clone Wars, only awesome

Star Wars: Clone Wars was awesome. Star Wars: The Clone Wars, however, was not.

Or were you referring to the movie?

...of all-time? No way...



That's right.

I must confess, I've seen the trailer multiple times but didn't laugh once. I'll wait until it hits the movie channels.

Yeah, I was disappointed by this.  Not very many laughs and all the good zombie kills were pretty much in the trailers.  There is a real sweetness to the character relationships but that's not enough to keep this movie from being fluff.
