Goofs
Early in the film, Columbus enumerates his rules for survival. While he explains rule #4, "Beware of bathrooms", he flees a bathroom at a gas station, with a single male zombie in pursuit. As he rounds a corner, he sees and shoots a female zombie and we see that the male zombie is almost close enough to touch Columbus. In the very next shot, with no apparent time lost between cuts, the male zombie is now much further away. See more »

[first lines]
Columbus:
Oh, America. I wish I could tell you that this was still America, but I've come to realize that you can't have a country without people. And there are no people here. No, my friends. This is now the United States of Zombieland.

Zombieland is hardly a plot-heavy and dramatic masterpiece, but it IS very, very funny, and not funny in a way you're used to seeing in a comedy.
There are very few jokes made, the humor is more from people doing things that people might normally do, just filmed very well in a humorous fashion.
Oh, and the movie has lots of zombies and other awesome stuff that surround this entire idea of having every situation be the biggest "What the frack?!" you can possibly imagine.
The small cast was obviously having a great time when they made it, and all four characters did a very good job of fitting with the style of the movie.
Lastly, while the whole movie is hilarious, one scene in particular will have you in fits, one of the funniest single little scenes I've ever seen. But, no spoilers here!
