Zombieland: Double Tap Review

October 23, 2019

We went and saw Zombieland: Double Tap, and I was treated to a fabulous time! This franchise understands it’s audience and really ends up feeling like an excuse for famous actors to get together and have a blast making a movie - which, as it turns out, means a good time for everyone.

Zombieland:
Double Tap Synopsis

Zombieland: Double Tap isn’t a very deep movie that requires much in the way of explanation or critical analysis. It’s a fun time. Our lovable characters from the first movie are all back, living their lives in Zombieland and kicking ass. The controversy in this story starts with Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) proposing to Wichita (Emma Stone), which creates a rift in their relationship due to Wichita’s inability to be close. She and Little rock leave the family with only a note to explain their departure. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and Columbus are floored.

While on the run with Wichita, Little Rock (Abigail Breslen),
the youngest of this adoptive family, decides that post-pubescence is pointless
without a cute boy to bang, so she leaves the safety of her family and ventures
into Zombieland with a cute boy from Berkley, called...Berkley. The gang
decides that they have to go after her, and this is the basis for most of the
movie.

There are some great cameos and new characters who add quite
a bit in the way of entertainment, like the stunning and hilarious Madison (Zoey Deutch) and
the strangely Woody Harrelson-esque Albuquerque (Luke Wilson).

Zombieland: Double Tap Review

Zombieland: Double Tap is easy to watch and is great at what it tries to be - fun, funny, over-the-top action, with a little bit of sex thrown in. It’s got great writing, the dialog in-particular is spot on, and the jokes are top tier. If you like guns, the use of guns, explosions, laughing, sex, and witty banter, you will have a blast, especially in the theater. The world that they build is also convincingly zombie-like, so there is that. 

I had a fun time with all the theoretical stuff that you
dream about if you constantly dream about a zombie hellscape. Want to live in
the White House? Cool! Want to propose with the Hope Diamond? Alright! Want to
shoot first and ask questions later? Neat!

Double Tap may not be the most artistic or scary movie this year; in fact, it’s barely got any scares at all. But it is tons of fun.

Weirdly, this is the second zombie movie in 2019 that Bill Murray has been in, the other being The Dead Don't Die.

Score

8/10          &nbs...
