There is something infectious (sorry, didn't mean to) in the idea of a zombie universe that compels writers to infuse comedy into it and then write it off as some sort of cutting-edge piece of entertainment. The world was already blessed with Shaun of the Dead: a hilarious take on the zombie genre that is superior in both humor and human drama. Zombieland borrows humor from Superbad, romance from Love, Actually and horror from...eh...it's zombies, you get the idea. Might resonate with 13 year olds, or somebody that gets a kick out of humor tee shirts from Spencer's Gifts. If you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead, then stick with that one. I really dislike this film, so I would not recommend it.

You kinda get me with this whole "Nice comedy but also some emotional stuff in it" thing, and the strong acting and whole scenario made it all the more watchable

It is utterly amazing to me that anyone, even the director's mother, might rate this film highly. It is without question the worst film I can recall seeing in my 62 years.It is not funny. It is not scary. It is not interesting. It is not entertaining. It is a tremendous waste of some actual acting talent. And yet it is not so bad that you can laugh at it in the way you can some of the legendary bombs such as Ed Wood directed in the 1950's and 1960's.I watched the entire film, and genuinely kept thinking that somewhere in it there had to be some sort of payoff, something which on some level would make it worth watching. Sadly, there was nothing.Several of the favorable reviews here gush about how the film is funny, laugh-out-loud funny. I genuinely not only did not come close to laughing even once, I don't believe I even smiled.
