I honestly expected it to be much worse, but Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse is still a silly attempt at a great, entertaining, horror comedy.

It doesn't attempt to achieve a ton, but it has a heart, and it's not nearly as snarky or ironic as most teen flicks or zombie stories. It actually gains a ton of momentum toward the end, so don't walk out on this movie.

A sloppy, unfunny, lazy, horribly paced crap fest. Tye Sheridan makes it barely watchable. A big fail for a strong premise.

It's got stupid humor and zombies coming together in the most immature of ways. If you enjoy/can put up with those two elements then you'll do okay with this flick. It's cheesy, stupid, at at times very funny. In the end though it's not hardIt's got stupid humor and zombies coming together in the most immature of ways. If you enjoy/can put up with those two elements then you'll do okay with this flick. It's cheesy, stupid, at at times very funny. In the end though it's not hard to wish that there was just more good about it overall.

The young cast is pretty talented. Although Tye Sheridan seems a little wooden here and you can tell he really isn't trying at all. The majority of the laughs come from Logan Miller who occasionally is forced to overact because of the material. The rest of the cast just sort of lays on the cheese with their performances, but who can really blame them this kind of movie.

As far as the action goes the movie has some pretty great gore effects. The kills are brutal and often absurd. It makes the whole thing more entertaining overall and proves once again that it's just fun to watch people kill zombies.

If only the jokes were just as entertaining. Unfortunately not all of them stick the landing. There are some laugh out loud funny moments here, but all too often the movie just relies on the characters freaking out at the sight of boobs or making lame penis jokes to get by. Yet for all it's stupidity and half-hearted attempts at sexual humor there are some hilariously absurd moments that will have you rolling on the floor.

Is it worth putting up with the rest of the film to see them though? It depends. If you just really enjoy zombies and immature R-rated humor like I do then it's worth a quick rental for some cheap thrills. How ever if you have a.... classier, more refined sense of humor then stay far away. The penis jokes, boobs, and blood aren't going to be your cup of tea.

Yet, even for those of us who love this kind of thing this isn't the most entertaining way to get our fix. Yet, like I said it's worth a cheap watch just for some gross laughs and zombie killing fun. The plot and lesson about friendship and growing up might fall flat on it's face, but when it comes to watching a mostly charming cast come together as high school losers facing zombies it has it's moments. That at least makes it passable in my book.… Expand

I didn't know anything but the title of this and thought, for a buck fifty Redbox rental...why not? When it started with Blake from Workaholics playing a janitor, I thought, okay this may be actually good. Wellll, how about merely good. It'sI didn't know anything but the title of this and thought, for a buck fifty Redbox rental...why not? When it started with Blake from Workaholics playing a janitor, I thought, okay this may be actually good. Wellll, how about merely good. It's definitely R rated, which was a surprise. But F bombs do not a comedy make. Nor do cliché upon cliché. Our three boy scout heroes come from every teen comedy under the sun. The earnest guy who wants to do good while crushing on the hot girl (with the dick boyfriend), the chubby schlub who's REALLY into scouts, and the horndog best friend. "Earnie" and "horndog" are invited to a private senior party, that will be the NIGHT OF THEIR LIFE!!!! Of course they split from Augie, the schlub, to attend. Of course they're discovered by Augie. Of course they make up and become better friends at the end. And the good guy gets the girl in the end. After saving the day, of course-....I gave it an extra point because it's gleefully dirty in a totally juvenile way, with zombie dick jokes and a zombie oral sex scene that was beaten by ReAnimator thirty years ago, but was still appreciated. Good for a few chuckles and a laugh or two. Catch on cable if you must.....… Expand

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is another addition to the already oversaturated zombie genre. Its not a Zombieland rip off by any means but is similar enough and its not nearly as good. The leads are all fairly enjoyable in this movie,Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is another addition to the already oversaturated zombie genre. Its not a Zombieland rip off by any means but is similar enough and its not nearly as good. The leads are all fairly enjoyable in this movie, everyone gives a pretty good performance but something is definitely missing and that is comedy. I never felt like there were really any fresh jokes in this and I know that the horror comedy genre is already stretched pretty thin. It was also pretty slow getting underway for a 90 minute movie. I wasn't expecting Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse to be good and it wasn't, I'm really not any worse for it.… Expand

Despite having some brief fun moments here and there Scouts guide to the apocalypse is a largely unfunny and boring affair with little fun unlike what was promised in the trailer.

The performances are mediocre and the movie is too absurd at times for its own good. That said, it's a breezy watch with a few genuinely funny scenes.

I love this funny movie. This movie is not scary at all. Even it is funny. I laughed many times. When the students take selfies with zombies, it was a crazy Instagram-moment! Many zombies are killed. But the blood looks like " tomato juice".I love this funny movie. This movie is not scary at all. Even it is funny. I laughed many times.

If you are looking for some Halloween movie for 90 minutes, Please enjoy it. Your kids will laugh instead of crying. LOL.… Expand
