Zombieland: Double Tap (rated R) is a refreshing take on the tired, oversaturated zombie movie genre. A sequel to the original 2009 movie, Double Tap continues the satirical slapstick comedy its predecessor was known for, and while not all of its jokes necessarily land, solid acting and clever writing solidify the ones that do. The story picks up with its main cast, named Little Rock, Tallahassee, Columbus, and Wichita, who have fortified themselves in the White House and have been living comfortably for several months away from the apocalypse. However, when the group suddenly becomes split up, they are forced to abandon their safe haven in order to reunite with each other. Along the way, the movie makes a point of satirizing a number of played-out tropes that have been heavily used by the genre in years past, such as different “types” of zombies that hunt the group throughout the film. While this does mean that the core plot of the Double Tap isn’t the most original, it certainly works for making fun of the movie’s more heavy-handed cousins. The film is also quite fond of reminding the reader that it doesn’t take itself seriously at all, with its constant in-your-face comedy and the ludicrous antics of the main cast. All in all, while it may be fairly simplistic or basic in nature, Zombieland: Double Tap is an enjoyable spin on the traditional horror-focused zombie movie.
