Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, Emma Stone, Rosario Dawson, Zoey Deutch, Avan
Jogia, Luke Wilson, Thomas Middleditch
Rating: 9 out of 10, This retains the
very fun attitude of the original. Our Oscar nominated crew of zombie killers
have taken up residence in the ruins of the White House which lends itself to
some serious gags. I missed Woody’s obsession with Twinkies but it’s been
replaced with an Elvis mania which leads him to Rosario Dawson – never a bad
thing. It’s all escapist fun despite the constant zombie attacks with some
really funny zingers aimed at millennials. I know critics who take themselves
way too seriously will be upset with actors of this caliber taking up this kind
of fare but it is pure unadulterated fun and would have been really silly
(alright more silly) with lesser actors. Make sure to stay for all of the
credits for your Bill Murray fix, who re-appears despite the hole blown in his
chest in the first movie.
MVP: Eisenberg as the geeky but
effective Columbus
