Synopsis:
A cowardly shut-in named Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is forced to join up with a seasoned zombie-slayer named Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) in order to survive the zombie apocalypse. As Tallahassee...

The movie starts off with a chicken-hearted and anti-social awkward named Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), a nerd who spends most of his time on World of War Craft and never had a girlfriend until he found the first one who intends to eat him. He, who comes from a breakdown family, has made him to adapt fitly in a world run by the brain-eating undead.

He looks like an unlikely survivor. However, he has a series of ever-glowing rules such as “Cardio”, “Never be A Hero”, “Double Tap” and etc that kept him alive in Zombieland, which funnily appear on the screen when he applies them. He meets a extreme zombie-hating slayer named Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) who is willingly to turns the world upside down searching for the last ‘Twinkies’ on earth before it get ‘expired’.

The buddy team meets up with the foxy sisters, Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), who have survived in the zombie apocalypse using rather the similar methods. The girls have tried to cheat for their vehicles and have dumped them along the journey several times. But soon, all four realize the importance of working together as a family to battle against the carnivorous running undead American.

The major highlight of the movie will be the brilliant appearance of Bill Murray, a wealthy comedian who acts as Dr. Peter Venkman in Ghost Busters. The craziest thing is he got shot while he is trying to scare the coward Columbus.

Unlike traditional zombie movies like The Resident Evil or I Am Legend, Zombieland do not focus much on the action of Zombies, instead it goes for laughter over providing genuine fright. Not much story line but it’s definitely is one of the funniest comedies in this Christmas season.

Columbus's phobia - Clown

Well, hitting zombie is a perfect way to release stress too!
