Nut up or shut up.
Follow the rules. And try to find yourself a Woody Harrelson in the zombie apocalypse.
The United States has fallen to a zombie plague, and the few survivors have learned to be ruthless, resourceful, or very, very fast. When a neurotic college kid crosses paths with a Twinkie-hunting drifter, an unlikely partnership forms — and the road trip to find safety turns into something neither expected. Zombieland is loud, gory, and genuinely funny, a horror-comedy that earns its laughs without defanging its carnage.

Overall
Columbus is a timid, anxious college student who has survived the zombie apocalypse by following a strict set of personal rules: cardio, double tap, beware of bathrooms. Narrating his own story with wry detachment, he sets off on foot toward his hometown in Ohio, hoping his parents are still alive.
He hitches a ride with Tallahassee, a hard-driving, Twinkie-obsessed survivor with an almost poetic gift for zombie killing. The two reluctantly team up and soon encounter Wichita and Little Rock — a pair of con-artist sisters who promptly steal their car and supplies. Twice.
Despite the rocky start, all four end up traveling together toward Pacific Playland, an amusement park in California that Wichita remembers as safe, and that Little Rock has fixated on as a symbol of normalcy. Columbus develops feelings for Wichita; Tallahassee bonds with Little Rock, revealing that he lost his own young son to the outbreak.
The group shelters overnight in a Beverly Hills mansion belonging to Bill Murray, who has been surviving by disguising himself in zombie makeup. In one of the film's most celebrated scenes, Murray is accidentally shot dead by Columbus during a prank gone wrong.
At Pacific Playland, Wichita and Little Rock break off on their own and switch on the park's rides and lights — attracting every zombie in the area. Columbus and Tallahassee race to their rescue. Tallahassee locks himself in a game booth and goes full berserker, killing waves of zombies with gleeful abandon, while Columbus faces his fears and saves Wichita. The four escape together, and Columbus finally gets the girl.
