Zombieland (Ruben Fleischer, 2009)

6.5/10
I was hoping for better, but what I got was okay. It has its funny moments and inspired bits here and there, but at a certain point (especially the first half) you start to wonder what the point is. I appreciate that the movie didn't waste time on back stories or character development but it seemed starved for an excuse to throw Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson's characters together on a cross-country trek. The pacing is kind of uneven; the movie struggles to balance emotional moments with the comedy. But it's still fun, and Eisenberg and Harrelson work well together.
