    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    The trailer just showed up on Apple, and I didn't see anything on the first page of posts.

    It's got Zombies, Woody Harrelson and a Johnny Cash soundtrack, what more could you put in a movie to exceed this big pile of awesome?

    Yeah, can't wait!

    It was a fun ride but the situational comedy were way too predictable. Lots of laughs with a moderate amount of blood and gore. Comedic horror. Don't expect to be scared or in for a thrill ride.

    Enjoyed it.

    This movie began with much promise, but peters out in the middle. Less to do with zombies than with two girls punking the guys.
    An acquaintance said his daughter loved it. She is 11. Enough said :(

    You're a killjoy.

    It's a movie. About zombies. With Woody Harrelson. It has a Johnny Cash soundtrack. If you're expecting a cinematic masterpiece, you're gonna be disappointed. It's mindless fun, the way God intended it! Maybe the 11 year old liked it because she GOT that idea!

    Lighten up dude, it's just a movie.

    All I can say is Wow. There has been a paucity of good movies this year (cough: Transformers 2, Angels and Demons, Watchmen, the Hangover are all on my watch-once list), but this movie was absolutely hilarious. I went in thinking not another zombie drag, and came out laughing like crazy. Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg make a great comedic match. Emma Stone is so kickass!

    Watched this movie this past weekend.
    There is a theatre in a mostly abandoned mall in a suburb of Cincinnati that I like going to. Almost always there is only you and a few other people in the theatre at a time, so rearely are there idiots talking or texting or whatever.

    I took my youngest brother-in-law. When we walked in there was two "insane clown posse" people... and a 70+ old lady with a walker... The couple of clowns were in the very back, up top... to make out in peace I'm guessing... and that old lady had the best seat in the house, dead center... So we had to sit a few rows down from that best seat.

    I laughed my ****$ off... Partially because this was a funny movie that I had little hope for. But also because that old lady fricken loved it. She was never rude, participating with the movie, like some jack@$$es do... But she laughed and laughed at the funnier parts...

    It made my day to go see this movie. I had few expectations and I was relatively surprised by how well done it was. Some of the best opening credits I've seen in awhile, and the cameo of 'the king' was classic BM at his best, even down to making fun of himself.

    While not a movie deserving of an award for it's depth, this was as feel-good and fun a movie as I have seen in sometime. For entertainment, it was worth the $7 I paid to see it.

    Hate to revive this thread, but I just got around to seeing this. One of the funniest movies I have ever seen! So much inappropriate stuff to laugh at! Woody Harrelson was an absolute scream, and Bill Murray's brief part seriously made my sides hurt. Brilliant movie! Can't wait to snag the BD when it drops in February!

    Seen it twice so far, great flick for sure.

    I've had a craving for Twinkie's since the first time I got to see it.

    I watched this a few weeks and thought it was pretty good. The part with Bill Murray was the best. Maybe I was expecting more from it based on the previews but I thought it would be better. Overall it was good but not one I will be watching over and over like some other movies.

    I thought it was hilarious. GF and I thoroughly enjoyed it. But then, we hadn't seen any previews or heard any talk of it apart from my brother saying I needed to watch it. We were surprised at the Bill Murray cameo... which was GREAT.
