“Zombieland: Double Tap”

Very funny sequel to the mild hit from a few years ago. All the regulars are back including Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg & Abigail Breslin. In this chapter, they’re living in the White House and why not? They seem to be having a lot of fun living there but “Little Rock” (Breslin) is feeling restless and decides to take off and the rest of the gang sets off to find her. They try Graceland first and come across a few other survivors such as Rosario Dawson and a couple other nuts including Luke Wilson playing a role very similar to Harrelsons in a funny little twist. They eventually all meet up at a Babylon, a place to celebrate peace and smoke pot. Unfortunately, they’re all completely ignorant and to make matters worse, they like to set off fireworks and attract zombies. There is also a new kind of zombie introduced named the T-800 which is referenced by the Terminator films. To enjoy the Zombieland films, you have to remember the rules such as “Cardio”, “Double-Tap”, “Always stay Limber” and stay away from public bathrooms. If you forget them, they show up in pop-up form frequently for comic affect. With movies like these, you either laugh or you don’t and I did a lot. It’s very funny and the action is fun. It’s certainly a movie you just go with because not a whole lot of it should be taken seriously. It’s just a goofy ride.
