I mean you could clone the film and do it with different characters, but never will you get such a great combination of characters, especially for this sub-genre. Especially the scenes involving Bill Murray, I mean without spoiling things, who wouldn't want to do that with Bill Murray?
There isn't really any complaints, I can't believe it, but this is equally (for its genre) as good as District 9: D9 was a great classic, it had amazing acting, direction, and pulled the audiences' emotions the right way. Zombieland did just the same; it delivered a great actors, great directing, and pulled the audience's emotions perfectly too. For its genre it's perfect.
Shaun of the Dead may have been amusing, and referenced a lot of more "serious" zombie films. But this film made itself different, made itself without having to recreate scenes from other films. It did things so much better when referencing other films. Bravo
The only criticism is that I felt the gore factor could have been upped to more OTT levels, but apart from that it's a perfect zom-com film.
All in all I'd have to say that if you like zombie films go watch it. Those who think this is a scary movie though, it isn't, but that's because zombies have long gone being scary, and are now more adrenaline fueled, redneck, fun entertainment which everyone needs once in a while. So if you like gore, cool inventive gun scenes, a few jump moments, and great characters that you care for - this film is for you!
