Apparently American Zombieland was originally titled Fat Ass Zombies, I can’t imagine why they changed it.
The movie starts off with a cute teacher supporting her boyfriend who wants to be a zombie film maker. Unfortunately, the exciting news that his movie was picked up, isn’t’ quite true.
The first twenty minutes are actually pretty depressing.
We then get to see our first zombie, who also has nasty gas, which leads to the beginning of the outbreak.
This feels like someone watched Zombieland, drank like a fish, maybe smoked something not legal in every state, and wrote a script that is supposed to be funny, but just never quite gets there.
There are a lot of scenes that might have looked funny on paper, but somehow they just don’t work.
If it is a rainy day, and you have nothing left to watch, put American Zombieland on, but save it for a rainy day when you have nothing left to do, as it scored barely into “Rainy Day Movie” territory with a 36/100.
Sam, played by Samantha Walker, you were one of the few bright spots in this movie, so if your reading this, you are one of the reasons this wasn’t a total bomb.
