Sure, this was an unnecessary sequel, but it was still enjoyable nevertheless and I could watch Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin interact with each other all day long.
Despite having a cushy lifestyle in the White House, Little Rock (Breslin) gets restless, sick of being treated like she's a little kid and Wichita feels oddly tied down by Columbus's love and desire to settle down, so they leave.
Little Rock then falls in love with hippie Berkeley (Avon Jogia) and leaves Wichita, forcing her to return. The rest of the film is them trying to find and not get killed.
There are many new characters along the way. Madison (Zoey Deutch) who is dumber than a bag of rocks (actually, that's an insult to the rocks) but manages to survive a severe nut allergy. Reno (Rosario Dawson), a love interest for Tallahassee (Harrelson) who also utterly adores the King (Elvis), along with bizarre doppelgangers Albuquerque and Flagstaff (Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch) who die far too soon, thanks to being bitten by some mutant zombies.
There is plenty of zombie killing and cursing along the way with a bit of tears and sex along the way.
While the film is trivial, despite the numerous ways to kill zombies, and some major plot holes (again, surviving the nut allergy), the film has good actors and they truly embody their characters so the film is completely watchable. Grade: B
Side Notes:
-It is a shame to see the leaning Tower of Pisa go like that, but it was completely worthy of Zombie Kill of the Week.
-Where does Tallahassee get the new car after blowing up the hated minivan?
-I wonder what everyone does for food?
-I'm glad that Wichita came to her senses and realized that she and Columbus belong together.
-Carrying around wet wipes is never a bad idea.
-The Oval Office is called that for a reason.
-It must be miserable spending years on end living in a freezer, but it's also impossible to feel sorry for Madison.
