What's it about: Zombies on a Ferris wheel, zombies in Hollywood, zombies dressed up as clowns. You might wonder if it's a scary thing to have so many dead men walking in a town, but this Zombieland is anything but a scare.

One of the wittiestu00a0 films of the year, this tale of four people trapped in a city full of half dead creatures will have you in splits.



Nerdy Columbus (Eisenberg) is an expert at handling zombies, he has a dummies' guide how not to get killed by one written in his head.

Headed to Ohio, he bumps into Tallahassee (Harrelson) who's a road warrior on a mission to kill as many zombies as he can.

The two meet their matches in Witchita (Stone) and her sister Little Rock (Breslin) who mostly spend time watching each other's back.

The four move towards a California amusement park hoping to seek recluse and shelter. Along the way they have more fun than a bunch of jocks spending their first spring break in Miami!

What's hot: It ain't as sharp as Shaun of the Dead, but the film has a charm of its own. Be the characters or their quirky traits (W's undying love to sink his teeth in a twinkie!) there's lots to celebrate here.

Without being just a parody or a farce, the film weaves a charm around you with the idea of four human beings who have other things than saving their lives from zombies on their mind.

There's a terrific cameo by Bill Murray and a diss at Tom Cruise that's hard to miss! Performances are exemplary with a special nod to Harrelson for making his Tallahassee one of the most memorable characters in recent times. Don't miss the title sequence which is brilliantly shot and executed!
