Going to watch it next week, looking forward to it already.

Saw it the other night. Wasn't blown away at all. The cameo is forced and awkward, and the heroines, who were perceived as being so savvy and smart when they're introduced, seem to leave their wits in the car when they SPOILER:
get to the fairground and TURN ALL THE BLOODY LIGHTS ON AND TRY TO EVADE THE ZOMBIES BY GETTING ON A STATIONARY FAIRGROUND RIDE

Also, when you're in a zombie-infested wasteland, you're going to want a practical vehicle, not a poxy 4mpg hummer. There's funny elements, for sure, but Jesse Eisberg plays exactly the same character he played in Adventureland (seeing a pattern forming here) and seems to be a budget Michael Cera for playing socially awkward teens

Given a choice, I would not have spent my own money to see this. Woody's ok, but again, the part isn't exactly a stretch

I enjoyed it and laughed silly at certain points, loved to cameo but saw the punchline coming a mile away (amazed he didnt lol) would deffo recommend just for woodys banjo

Agree that some of the fairground logic was daft, but loved it - knew there was a cameo but didn't know who it was or what happened (think it's the best cameo I've yet seen in a movie, actually), and although the payoff for it was well signposted, when it came I just about wet myself. Brilliant stuff.

I watched it the other day and liked it.

Another who didn't know the cameo but had seen the comments on here about punchline being obvious etc and when I was watching it, I was thinking what was obvious or wrong with the cameo.

Didn't realise the moment everyone meant, as that was so obvious

SPOILER:
and happens a while after he enters, that I'd thought it was something immediately

so hadn't realised what everyone was talking about until I reread now.


It surprised me in that it was a completely different film to what I was expecting, as I was thinking more of a film for a horror fans, rather than more of a kind of buddy comedy for the masses.

Just read that the cameo wasn't the original choice

Was originally

SPOILER:
Matthew McConaughey and then

SPOILER:
Joe Pesci

Just got back from watching it. I thought it was great.
A funny zombie movie.

OK, it's not as good as Shaun Of the Dead ("you've got red on you")...but I laughed quite a bit and enjoyed the stupidness of it all.

It's not as accomplished as SotD but is an extremely amusing and well observed comedy about zombie films. I loved the list of rules, Woody Harrelson was fantastic, Emma Stone very watchable and the cameo was just great. It's nothing deep or meaningful but it's just a riot from the first minute to the last.
