We laughed at lot at this violent sequel to Jack's favorite movie of 2009, in which our heroes are still surviving the zombie apocalypse. Returning cast includes Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin (now 23, practically all grown up!). Zoey Deutch is hilarious as new character Madison, and there are too many others to list.
Director Ruben Fleischer returns, as do writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, joined by co-writer Dave Callaham.
The original music by David Sardy, which can be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music, is supplemented by a lot of songs. Chung-hoon Chung is the cinematographer.
Harrelson was last blogged for Solo: A Star Wars Story, Eisenberg for The Art of Self Defense, Stone for The Favourite, Breslin for My Sister's Keeper which actually was made after the original Zombieland, Deutch for Why Him?, Fleischer for Gangster Squad, and Reese and Wernick for Deadpool 2.
Obviously not everyone's cup of gore, this is rated only 68% by Rotten Tomatoes' critics. Its audiences have self-selected and average a more favorable 89. We saw it two weeks ago and the movie is expected to be streaming in January. Don't leave the room before the end of the credits.
