Pop culture references and self-referential riffs dot the landscape. It’s essentially a road trip with one big battle after another, featuring zombies that have evolved and become harder to kill. And while the meeting of Tallahassee and Columbus with their eerie doppelgängers Albuquerque ( Luke Wilson) and Flagstaff ( Thomas Middleditch) is a clever idea, it drags on longer than it should.Īll these usually appealing actors are stuck in a plot that’s episodic and doesn’t gain much momentum.

Similarly, there’s little to a guitar-playing hippie named Berkeley ( Avan Jogia) with whom Little Rock strikes up a flirtation. She’s tough and independent but the would-be romance between her and Harrelson’s character is barely there. Other new additions to the cast don’t get the opportunity to contribute nearly so much, including a sadly squandered Rosario Dawson as the manager of an Elvis-themed motel near Graceland. But Deutch is so irresistibly adorable and radiates such sunny guileless in this cold, bleak world that her presence provides a welcome respite. In her pink velour Juicy Couture sweats and Von Dutch tank top, her vocal fry punctuating the ends of her Valley Girl upspeak, Madison is more of a one-joke idea than an actual human being. So do his frequent reminders that he knows we’re watching him and his friends in a movie, with jokes about putting down your Milk Duds or experiencing “Zombieland Double Tap” in 4DX.Įventually another female character arrives in the form of Zoey Deutch’s dippy, blonde Madison, who’s stayed alive this whole time by hiding in a Pinkberry freezer at the mall.

Tallahassee is the cranky, politically incorrect father figure, Columbus and Wichita are the playful lovebirds and Little Rock is the spunky and rebellious younger sister. Tallahassee (Harrelson), Columbus (Eisenberg), Wichita (Stone) and Little Rock (Breslin) have settled into a makeshift family dynamic as comfortably as possible, given that they’re under near-constant attack.
