    Just watched the sneak preview of Zombieland last night, and while I don't want to spoil any of it for anyone, let me just say

    WHAT A FREAKING FUN TIME AT A MOVIE!

    Now maybe it was just the fact of seeing it in a sold-out sneak-preview-audience theater, but people were cheering and clapping the whole way through, and having a blast. One of the more hilariously funny movies I have seen in a long time. I cannot wait to see it again.

    And I predict this movie is going to be wildly popular, and some new catchphrases will be entering the cultural lexicon - you will be hearing a lot of people saying 'Cardio!' and 'Double-Tap!' from here on out.. and I will say no more.

    Highly recommended! Go see it!

    :D

    It looks real good. Jesse Eisenberg is a fine actor. Saw him in 'Adventureland'.

    Will see.

    Adventureland was without a doubt my favorite movie of 2009.

    She was cute, Lisa P was hot, and Eisenberg was perfectly awkward and lovably self-aware like the obligatory Michael Cera character, but Martin Starr really made the movie.

    There is a celeb cameo that I don't think anyone will see coming and it's hilarious as well.

    I'm not spilling anything else. Where did you watch it at? I was at the Studio Movie Grill in Copperfield.

    Well I'm still skeptical as, imo, the previews for the movie looked like ****.

    I'll be scanning the reviews though, as I love zombie movies. But usually I can tell from previews whether or not I'm apt to like a movie.

    Eisenberg is a much better actor than Michael Cera, hands down.

    I went to see the preview at Studio Movie Grill last week, and even though I got there an hour early, they were out of seats. Apparently, they gave away wristbands starting at 4pm.

    Would have been nice to know, considering it was a 30 minute round trip drive and my gf and I got in an argument trying to find the place (she got mad at me for using the Google Maps directions, which turned out to be wrong...wtf?) :mad:

    He certainly is, I thought he was brilliant... but the part seemed suited for Cera.

    better than (500) Days of Summer? :p

    when I saw the trailer for this during GI Joe, I was pretty eager to watch it, just looks like an all out fun looking movie, and having Emma Stone in it helps also :)
