I accidentally bought the second of this franchise (Zombieland: Double Tap. See later review), and then discovered Zombieland on Netflix. It seemed to have good reviews, and Ivy & I were in the mood to watch something mindlessly amusing. But it's fair to say we watched the credits roll with some apprehension - especially Ivy, who wouldn't like anything too bloodspatteringly gory.
   We needn't have worried. Sure, there were some gory bits, but the characters won us over. We laughed a lot, especially when... oops, I nearly said a spoiler. Suffice to say one scene in a fun park swarming with zombies left us giggling helplessly.
   So, a little surprised, I find myself recommending this film. It really does carve out a little niche for itself.
