ZOMBIELAND DOUBLE TAP

When bad thing happen you have 3 options Succumb...Fight Back...Overcome. A dialogue travelogue of the comical misadventures of four survivalists in the ongoing aftermath of a zombie holocaust. (*I never saw first film so this is seen without that reference*) The Zombocomedy Satire of black and dry humour ~ barbs, puns relying on those relationships --all whilst-- buttons are pushed, tollerances are tested, and boundaries are stomped on. Newbies join the needy foursome, which adds comic relief and refresh the isolated jaded team who live with each other bc up to now they had no other. Some times the humour digs among themselves is exaggerated bc they are easy whiney targets bc they know each other's buttons, which they relentlessly push to get under each other's skin to show their love kinship and repressed feelings. They truly are fond of each other, stuck with each other, though the pretence is they just tolerate each other. But they always know they are a team. There is lots of zombie slapstick action kills to satisfy all snickering bogey-hunter-fans. Blood like black gold texas tea, comes bubbling, spewing, spurting out of exploding zombies as they are hacked and riddled with bullets. Action enthusiasts will be delighted. Stay after the credits for a very funny cameo outtake. The writers do the job of a script soley relying on the cabin fever talkie banter, many egg-on-the-face close-ups, and twerking overtime on the actors give-me-a-break self deprecatory moody characters. Everyone is set up in rotation as the attacker, victim, straight guy and fall guy irrespectively and gets a chance to be the butt of a joke or the joker. Which makes every situation fair game. There are a lot of fun and funny times, like a very long SNL skit. No one is safe or superior. Also, everyone's got comedic tragic flaws, which plays out well when a few of the self-hyped-out characters literally get to see themselves thru their own twin eyes...(nuff said, without making a spoiler.) Finally, it is an entertaining comedy with a grade of B. I mean it's a zombie-com, it's got zombie in the title...you can't expect Streep. Although Streep as a zombie, or zombie bounty hunter would make a great film, cause you know She make it Oscar worthy. (IE Buffy, Lincoln) Oh one final moral of the story warning: "Leave your place you lose your space", in someone's heart in the real world and especially more so amongst apocalypsic trysts so: "Love the one your with!" 😭 Now who should see this, for focus groups: There's cattiness, testostoronic posturing, target practice, narcissistic nerds blowing air up each other's ass, fireworks, so I guess everyone!
