Oct 29, 2015 · Like those previous examples of successful zombie-related comedies that I mentioned, "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" is a gory black comedy in which much of the humor is centered around the various disgusting ways in which the zombie hordes are dispatched throughout.

From George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead to Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead, zombies - reanimated corpses who want nothing more than to eat soft and squishy living humans - have shuffled their way into popular culture. We've seen everything from over-the-top gore-fests to bleak, character-driven stories involving the hungry waves of the undead. Some movies have even turned the zombie apocalypse - which is a seriously horrifying scenario - into hilarious comedies. Now, director Christopher Landon's Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is the latest film attempting to have fun with swarms of flesh-eating corpses.
As you can tell by the title, this one's all about a group of scouts who find themselves right in the middle of a zombie outbreak. Three high schoolers -- Ben (Tye Sheridan), Carter (Logan Miller), and Augie (Joey Morgan) -- are on a camping trip to celebrate Augie getting his latest patch. Even though Augie is passionate about being a scout, Ben and Carter really want to quit, and once Augie falls asleep, they're going to sneak away so they can check out the seniors' party - a party which is, of course, way more elaborate than like, 99.9% of actual high school parties. As Ben and Carter drive away and Augie's left on his own, their townsfolk are rapidly turned into zombies. It's not long before the duo bumps into Denise (Sarah Dumont), a cocktail waitress at a strip club who's also a badass with a shotgun, and they all attempt to save everyone who's left alive from the zombies.
Thanks to a cameo by the energetic Blake Anderson, Workaholics fans should be happy with a decent amount of the opening scene. Tye Sheridan, a.k.a. young Cyclops in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, and Sarah Dumont do a fine job with the material they have, but it's Joey Morgan who gives the most memorable performance. He's believably well-meaning as he's enthusiastic about being a scout - the thing his two friends are seemingly embarrassed of. He's a mostly lovable character, so if you're thinking one of the lead characters is going to die at some point, the odds are pretty good you'll keep hoping that it won't be him. It's too bad they use Augie for some unoriginal fart and poop jokes, but he handles it amusingly enough, and it's countered by pretty much everything else he does. Oh, and the noises he makes while running just may remind Futurama fans of Zoidberg.
Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is ridiculously juvenile. We're talking about a movie where a zombie's penis and another zombie's boobs could probably receive credit on the movie's IMDB page. There's some fun and silly moments in here, but the crass and predictable material does tend to overshadow the clever stuff. The end result is an okay m...
