Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

[Eric S'ennui]

Time to nut up or shut up. Or discuss this movie!

Loved the first one, loved this one too! Fun time at the theater!

This isn't anywhere nearly as clever or fresh as the first one but I still had a reasonably good time with this. God Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Emma Stone slip back into the roles with total ease and avoid sleepwalking through the project. The new additions were pretty good for the most part: always love seeing Rosario Dawson in anything and Zoey Deutch is delightfully annoying, but I thought the doppelganger stuff with Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch was weak. Not sure this was worth waiting a whole decade for but given how poorly comedy sequels usually fare (see, or better yet don't, those unfortunate Hangover sequels), this is an enjoyable endeavor and I can't say I would mind if they decided to revisit this universe and these characters again down the line. B-

 

The Bill Murray cameo in the credits was good but the biggest laugh from came from the fact that BOT #1 enemy Grace Randolph was one of the interviewers/zombies.

Thought it was great. Funnier than the first, if not quite as fresh. Zoey Deutch was awesome, one of the best parts of the entire movie. Who woulda thought she would be the one thing that carries on after Suite Life of Zack and Cody?
