Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is probably an indication that we really need a break with zombie movies, because while it definitely gives us the humorous take on a zombie outbreak instead of the horror (remember I'm the guy who likes BOTH comedy and scary zombie movies but I place them in two separate categories) a lot of this stuff is probably too silly even for my standards (and I have pretty low standards!) If you're wondering why I place zombie movies in comedy and horror categories, it's because for one thing there's a LOT of zombie movies out there now so we need a way to organize them all, and also because both genres (comedy and horror) have now established themselves.This movie's about a group of boy scouts who've now reached their teenage years and want out. Well at least two of them want out (Tye Sheridan and Logan Miller) but their other friend- Joey Morgan's character- he wants to keep the tradition alive, and acts like being a boy scout is a permanent thing. The movie does a pretty good job providing an exaggerated corny sense that being in boy scouts forever is a great feeling of pride and that these boys should be committed to it for their entire lives, however pretty soon when walking a trail out in the wilderness, the leader (David Koechner's character) gets attacked by a deer then later a zombie! I was trying to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while watching this scene, so I didn't appreciate the deer guts hanging out, or the knife through the eye. I almost gagged on the strawberry jelly!Anyway since Tye and Logan are growing out of their boy scout ways, they find themselves hooking up with a cocktail waitress (Sarah Dumont's character) and well, let's just say she's *really* hot. If you don't think she's hot you might wanna rub your eyes again! The way she runs around in those shorts... anyway! She works at a strip club and the bouncer doesn't like these boys very much. At first I thought he was going to run after the two boys after communicating with Sarah! You can tell she's the main attraction at this place and is probably protected. Before this it's sort of hilarious how Sarah was able to walk into a liquor store and buy beer for these underage boys without the cashier guy or anyone else confronting her. Then again who'd dare confront someone so attractive!From here the zombie outbreak only gets worse. Turns out these zombies are fast! Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse doesn't seem to do anything that hasn't already been done in other humorous zombie films, but it probably kicks up the outrageousness a few notches higher. The funniest scene is when Tye, Logan Joey and Sarah have to jump out an upper bedroom window and land on a trampoline which would give them enough height/momentum to bounce to their neighbors yard with a high fence providing protection, but due to a bad jump Tye accidentally grabs onto and extends an old man's zombies weiner while hanging from the window, LOL! Then again I can't remember if this was Joey's character.Anyway these zombies are not only fast, they can apparently dance to Britney Spears! They just need some encouragement and to see some fancy dance moves first. Probably the silliest moment in the movie granted. I love the scene when Joey's using the bathroom after a bad marshmallow experience, and has to open up a window to release the smell. A zombie walking around outside almost swipes at Joey's head! Good thing Joey stood up in time. Also the following scene when Joey gets into an altercation with his scout leader because he turned into a zombie and Joey doesn't realize it right away... solid action there!Perhaps Tye, Logan and Sarah stuck inside a jail cell surrounded by zombies, and the zombies arms *just* out of their reach is another classic moment. Sarah and Logan's character don't really get along because Sarah thinks Logan's not being a man about the situation, and Tye is the one who has a crush on Sarah. Can't blame Tye there can we now! Love when Joey tries to walk past several zombies outside the police station and sets off a car alarm! The chase is on for you Joey! Despite all the craziness, there's a nice sense that these three boys are friends and friendship conquers all. This means the ending is great.Overall the acting is solid, the zombies are hilarious and entertaining, there's several memorable lines and scenes and... oh yeah! How about the zombie cat? Haha! And when we find out the cat lady has several more cats hiding in the shadows, and they ALL turn into zombies? This is actually sort of a frightening moment because we only see the eyes of the growling cats in the background. Good stuff! Highly recommended but I think the time has come that we need a really long break with zombie films. This is enough!

A good time with zombies, is smartly written but never takes itself too seriously. Great fun.

I like it the jokes work some cheesy moments and that's what i like about

Loved this. Love zombie movies and somehow never heard of this one. It rocks!

This movie is rambunctiously scored from start to finish. All horror comedies should be so bold as to have Blake Anderson (Workaholics) twerking down the halls to Iggy Azalea's Black Widow while mopping the floors. Too bad he dies right away, but the scene is long, hilarious and REALLY gory. What more could you want? Follow that up with stock footage of David Koechner (Final Destination 5, Krampus) as an awkward scout leader in a recruiting video and I think director Christopher Landon (writer for Paranormal Activity 2-5) is off to a great start!We don't get very far in this movie before the gore properly reveals itself. It's a sloppy mess of awesome and this infectious bloody zombiism permeates the animal kingdom to deliver a zombie deer with its guts hanging out.This flick really delivers and doesn't stop with the gore. The hormonally raging Ben (Tye Sheridan), straight-laced Carter (Logan Miller) and boy scout fanatic Auggie (Joey Morgan; Compadres) are three readily likable high school sophomores with a newfound American Pie-like discovery of women. Their love interests: stripper Denise (Sarah Dumont; Don Jon) and classmate Kendall (Halston Sage; Goosebumps). As if copying from Superbad's (2007) class notes, Ben has charged Carter with scoring some beer and getting them to the party that will "change their lives."After such an amazing opening act, the movie had to lose a little steam ever so briefly in the middle before returning full steam ahead into lunacy. Even at its slowest point it's a nice experience. As it comes back full-tilt some people might be a bit bothered by the level of physicality of these zombies (i.e., WWE wrestling moves, jumping on trampolines). But it's a solidly fun and adventurous horror comedy.These boys' misadventures lead them to zombie strippers, challenges of their friendship, zombie boobs, a Britney Spears sing-along, a crazy old cat lady zombie, the crazy old cat lady zombie's crazy cat zombies, elderly zombie penis stretching and dismemberment, and zombie oral sex. As dirty and perverted as this all sounds it could have been much raunchier and grosser. Trust me, it's probably nothing that will make you uncomfortable if you enjoyed Piranha 3DD (2012).In this gory coming-of-age zombedy, these three boys rediscover their friendship and renew the awesome resourcefulness that is being a scout...and using those skills for killing zombies! It's a great ride!

Funny movie. Now it’s part of my collection.

Not a fan of the first third of the movie. Very stereo typical - but the last 2/3 gets much better and enjoyable.Over - fun little movie but not a great one.Script - ok once it gets goingActing - surprisingly goodDirecting - goodFilmography - GoodSFX - poor and over blown
