‘Zombieland’: Hilarious survival guide

Jesse Eisenberg reliably plays a geek again in “Zombieland,” but this time his virginal nerd follows his own set of rules to survive a world subjugated by an undead plague. Sidesplitting one moment and moving the next, the movie refreshingly caricatures the archetypal brainy loser, the badass action hero, the untrusting female, and the cunning kid. There are unnecessary sequences, and the climactic amusement park scenario unfolds and ends conventionally, but the non-stop irreverence and Bill Murray’s appearance make “Zombieland” a special treat.
