They decide to rescue Kendall but they find that the address her boyfriend gave to them is wrong. What can they do to save Kendall?
Three scouts, on the eve of their last camp-out, discover the true meaning of friendship when they attempt to save their town from a zombie outbreak.
We all love a good apocalypse -- it's a literary genre that goes back to the earliest days of Western civilization, and serves a very specific societal purpose. Still, I have to wonder whether the zombie movie, as an entertainment product, is now enduring its own living death. I thought that Shaun of the Dead had delivered the baseball bat to the brain-case of the genre but no, it just shambles along, bits falling off, consuming all in its path.<br/><br/>That being the case, it's worth asking what any new movie can add to a genre that is already crammed with forgettable flops. In this particular instance, the film-makers have opted to seek out a whole new level of grossness, vulgarity, and stupidity. It's as if they've said "what's the most repulsive, disgusting, gratuitous thing we can show here? I know -- let's have some guy hanging out of an upper-storey window holding on to a naked zombie's todger!" On the whole, I think it works. No, really. The film is always entertaining, and frequently funny; setting no high expectations, it can't fail to live up to them. It satirizes teenagers, and their petty lusts and self-centredness and, as a parent of teenagers myself, I can't fail to respond to that. The scenes that didn't make my eyes water or my stomach turn over made me cringe.<br/><br/>All, in all, this movie doesn't claim to deliver much but, what it does deliver, is spot on. Don't expect much in the way of sophisticated plot, award-winning acting, or outstanding cinematography. In fact, don't expect much, and you might be surprised.
I laughed my ass off while watching this movie. I had no expectations to what I was about to experience and I'm so glad because I did enjoy it. The last crazy zombie movie I watched was 'Cooties' which is truly an off-the-wall delight and 'Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse' is right up there with it. Good show!<br/><br/>The synopsis states three scouts attempt to save their town from a zombie outbreak. But that's really not the plot. Their motive is to save their fellow classmates and one of the scouts sister at a rave party to which the three scouts were not invited. The scouts were given an erroneous address and they must find the real address before the zombie get to the rave first. What they go through to get the address is a laugh riot of grotesque zombie horror that is funny and goofy and perfectly timed.<br/><br/>Casting, acting, dialog are spot on with the spirit of the movie! Light hearted crazy zombie fun done to perfection!
It doesn’t have the laughs or the killer cast of “Superbad,” but there are gory giggles aplenty in this B-movie addition to the genre that displaced vampires once Edward impregnated Bella.
