Zombieland: A similar space in the world of sequels

About a decade after the irreverent 2009 horror-comedy Zombieland, it is not an entry in an active franchise.
It’s more like a cheap ’80s-style retread, disguised as a more respectable legacy sequel.
Given the endless references to pop culture and the original Zombieland, it wouldn’t be out of place for Zombieland: Double Tap to design this sequel as a parallel zombie.
The script (by Dave Callaham, Rhett Reese, and Paul Wernick) points out the film’s potential dampness.
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) narrates a direct thanks to the audience in advance, acknowledging that viewers have “a lot of options in zombie entertainment.”
Wichita (Emma Stone) chides Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) for remembering his old catchphrase (“Nut or shut up,” for those with blurry memories of the original film).

But for its running time, the film is uncomfortably satisfied with recreating the dynamics of the first funny movie, which sometimes affects.
Zombieland: double-tap degrades the sometimes funny formula and doesn’t particularly affect.
Ten years after the original, it feels like a reluctant need to explain the aging of Wichita’s sister Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) from infancy to adulthood
Beyond that inconvenience and a half-assed idea of “evolving” zombies, the movie appears to take place about six months after Zombieland.

Columbus, Wichita, Little Rock, and Tallahassee have all maintained their makeshift post-apocalyptic family unit.
Columbus and Wichita are establishing themselves in the routine of a couple and Tallahassee acting as a dominant domineering figure for Little Rock.
At the beginning of the film, the quartet hides in the White House, rummaging through presidential memories.
And also, double Tap emerges an exciting idea in its quasi-family tension.
Because these characters must stay together in a world overrun by zombies, their social structures have to reorganize.

Little Rock does not have access to friends his age.
And for this matter, neither does Tallahassee, who treats his surrogate daughter like a little girl and a loyal fellow zombie killer.
Meanwhile, Wichita finds it challenging to achieve domestic happiness with Colón when they have to hold on to domestic life to survive.
They can be developing these ideas in comic situations or thinking of them in creatively dramatic ways.
The writers use them to hit the very beats of the story quickly.

Little Rock and Wichita part ways with the group, just as they did in Zombieland.
Little Rock then separates from Wichita, and they all set out on a road trip to find it.
You may be heading to a zombie-free commune, similar to the zombie-free amusement park from the end of the first movie.
Except that the writers take a series of bitter and baffling blows.
At the thought of the young people coming together in peace.
Finally, a Hollywood movie with the guts to face the scourge of pacifism!

Also, none of this prevents Double Tap from scoring some laughs, although you have to work harder for less.
What felt like a new combination of characters ten years ago – Eisenberg’s fussy nervousness?
Harrelson’s bravado that masks sensitivity, Stone’s pointless sarcasm – now comes across as a repetitive squeal.
The best the movie can do is adding a new gimmick to the mix, courtesy of Madison (Zoey Deutch).
Also, a young woman Columbus and Tallahassee meet at a mall.

All About Madison is a broad caricature of a silly blonde: she dresses mostly in pink.
They say her mispronounced words along with a semi-blocked vocal fry form, and is easily delighted.
But the cliches rise as Deutch goes goofy with enthusiasm reminiscent of the fearless elegance of Anna Faris.
Deutch’s performance turns Madison into a natural, possibly accidental optimist who is more endearing than the leads.
