Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg star in Zombieland, another undead comedy from first-time feature director Ruben Fleischer. Nathin Rabin at The Onion calls it a "winning new road movie/horror-comedy." Eisenberg plays "a meek young man whose preternatural cautiousness allowed him to survive a zombie apocalypse," who joins forces with a "gun-toting, Twinkies-obsessed roughneck (Harrelson) whose badass exterior belies a sentimental side... Though Eisenberg’s excessive voiceover narration bogs down the first act, the film quickly evolves into a crackling zombie romp powered by a clever script, goofy physical comedy—the filmmakers get a lot of mileage out of Harrelson’s amusingly over-the-top means of dispatching the undead—and the yin-yang comic chemistry of the eternally adorable Eisenberg and good-ol’-boy Harrelson."
