This 2009 horror action comedy doesn't quite top the fantastic Shaun of the Dead (and Army of Darkness), but it's pretty close. Similar in plot to SOTD, the cast is pretty good and the rest of the movie is enjoyable enough.
I'd heard a lot about how great Woody Harrelson is in this and it's great to see him in good form again. But, his character really doesn't break any new ground that others have (Bruce Campbell, for example).
Not too gory, plenty of foul language and no sexual situations. There are a couple of cameos, notably by Bill Murray, and the marvelous but underutilized Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Mike White (Chuck and Buck) - who is completely uncredited! Ouch. The narrator and lead, played by Jesse Eisenberg (The Village) may or may not irritate some people with his incessant whining. It almost seems like he's channeling Woody Allen...
If the title and the zombie theme sounds good, you'll enjoy this one.
