ZOMBIELAND, a zombie movie with a sense a humor, was a disappointment. Laughs were few, zombie action even less and no sense of dread or urgency at any moment of the film. Trying to be a U.S. version of the Shaun of the Dead(I guess) and failing miserably. No moments of genuine angst with what would be a terrible thing for the characters and no dread or suspense for them. Just some flat characters. The movie felt like it was try to be a few things yet not fulling committing to any of them. And one main lead, Jesse Eisenberg evokes the Michael Cera school of acting yet doesn't come off as charming as him. Too bad for him or me, I don't think I will be able to see him in anything and not think I am getting a poor Michael Cera clone. So this movie failed in my eyes. Even the celebrity cameo couldn't save this, you should have to jump the shark in a movie.
