'Zombieland' is an enjoyable romp through post-apocalyptic America. It's lead character and voice overist is played by Jesse Eisenberg, who lends a distinctively "Indie" feeling to the movie. This would feel too sickly-sweet for me, if it weren't balanced nicely by the gore and violence dotted healthily throughout.
It was a little samey, but this is understandable as most movies of this type are. What makes it stand out somewhat is the imaginative way that the rules, and the "zombie kills of the week", are portrayed. It could have done with a few more cutaways to interesting zombie kills though, as with just the one it doesn't feel as official as I would have liked. It goes some way into exploring human-on-human violence, but only slightly, when Witchita and Little Rock steal Tallahassee's car (one of the reasons I've become such a fan of 'The Walking Dead' is it's exploration of human nature, which I've yet to see in the more compact storyline of a film).
It's difficult to have much development on a large scale in zombie movies without them involving a cure in some form, and even harder to have a happy ending. 'Zombieland' comes close, though. As long as you consider only the immediate future, and not their inevitably short animalistic lives.
The romance between Columbus and Wichita builds at a nice pace, and the cameo by Bill Murray was a lot of fun. The Tallahassee hunting Twinkies plot line is enjoyable, if pointless. But then that's the point: Everything is pointless in 'Zombieland'.
