Zombieland

<< < (18/18)

Newbia:
A note on Versimilitude: I think a better word is "consistency". Dr. Seuss once said something like this: if he wrote a book about a magical animal called a Zaboomaloot with two heads, people would accept that without a second thought. But if someone noticed that the Zaboomaloot's closet had sweaters in it that only had one neck each, they would say, "Hey, that's not realistic!" Now, why are people willing to accept that a magical two-headed animal exists, but they won't accept a tiny break in continuity? It's because every story needs to have internal logical consistency according to its own rules. The lesson from this is that even a totally silly comedy needs to follow the rules it set up for its own world.

That being said: honestly I didn't think Zombieland was laugh-out-loud funny, it was just awesome. The action scenes were wildly entertaining. In short: every scene in Zombieland that involved killin' zombies was kick-ass. Every scene that did not involve killin' zombies was kick-ass.
