Parents advised reading before viewing the film as some scenes may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity:

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Little Rock asks a hippie if he has any weed on him as the hippie holds up a bag
Frightening/Intense Scenes: there one intense scene, but nothing frightening.
Story: Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, and Little Rock move to the American heartland as they face off against evolved zombies, fellow survivors, and the growing pains of the snarky makeshift family.
Likes: I'm pretty sure fan of the film will give this a 10 out of 10 and say this film is great, which is their opinion that fair enough, but sadly the film is far from Great, not saying the film isnt Good, its just not a great film.
It's great that the original cast return from Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, the beautiful Emma Stone, the gorgeous Abigail Breslin who now all grown up in the film, it follows the same formula as the first film the four struggle to survive together, with some new addiction that comes on board.
The acting is pretty solid throughout the film, some of the jokes land but not as much as they should've have done, while the story trys to give a bit more the story is kind of leaves you wanting more then what it gives.
Dislikes: The biggest Issue this film has is the lazy rehash style of these 4 doing the same thing as they did in the first film, it does try to up the story with new mutanted zombies being stronger and more dangerous but it just feels lazy.
The jokes at times kind of full flat with one or two jokes landing, with the new character which should've been on the film longer than what they did, felt like pointless character to move a story forward because they were more like throw-away characters when they could've been in longer I think it would have been funnier.
Sadly this film felt like the first film and felt flat and lazy with a medicroe story that could've been better.
Overall: Its ok film, good acting, sadly follow the same film formula instead of something new
Rating: 4.5 out for 5 for Entertainment / 6.6 out of 10 for a sequel
