“That one’s for you, Flagstaff.”

From Zombieland: Double Tap.

It’s been ten years since the start of the zombie apocalypse brought together Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Wichita (Emma Stone), and her sister Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) in an odd sort-of family.  While humans have advanced in their fighting skills, the zombies have also advanced in their hunting abilities resulting in an almost-un-killable T-800 zombie. Little Rock feels smothered by Tallahassee and she also feels lonely as Wichita and Columbus are in a relationship, which is part of the reason the sisters decide to leave the guys and set out once again on their own after Columbus proposes and scares with her Wichita commitment issues. Heartbroken over Wichita and Little Rock leaving, Columbus and Tallahassee decide to go to the mall where they find Madison (Zoey Deutch) who has been living in a mall freezer for the past ten years, somehow surviving even with her incredibly ditzy mental state. When Wichita returns home suddenly because Little Rock ran off with her new hippie crush, Berkeley (Avan Jogia), for a violence-free commune called Babylon, Tallahassee and Columbus all join together to find and protect Little Rock. Left with no other options, Madison joins the search for Little Rock, which causes more confrontation between Columbus and Wichita. Along the way they meet the tough, Elvis-enthusiast Nevada (Rosario Dawson) who captures the attention of Tallahassee, as well as the oddly similar zombie-killing duo Flagstaff (Thomas Middleditch) and Albuquerque (Luke Wilson). On an adventure that will take them across the country, fighting zombies every step of the way, the makeshift family might just remember that surviving Zombieland is pointless without the people that you love.

This long-awaited sequel not only lives up to the original, but surpasses it in many ways.  Harrelson and Eisenberg again use their exact opposites to create a hilarious comedic duo, while Stone, Breslin, and the rest of the cast bring life to this zombie flick.  As with the original, the zombies and zombie fighting are gory, but not necessarily terrifying.  Zombieland: Double Tap manages to be a comedy that is both hilarious and thrilling, and is definitely not to be missed.
