The film, as entertaining as it is, doesn’t exactly further a genre that has been stale since the success of 2013 rom-zom-com Warm Bodies.... What’s promising about Scouts Guide, though, are its unlikely heroes.

Genre fans close in age to the characters depicted onscreen should be appreciative of the enjoyably familiar mix of inspired comedy moments, smart zingers, grossout gags and nudity offered by the apostrophe-phobic Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.

Apologies if this happens to offend certain highbrow critical sensibilities, but I haven't run across a movie that's (intentionally) made me laugh so hard in years. My husband and I rented this one thinking "Meh, the reviews weren't so great but let's give it a shot." So I guess I don't understand -- were we all watching the same flick?? I feel like reviewers calling it "sophomoric" and "ribald" and "frenzied" are utterly missing the point: that's exactly what it's going for, because it's turning every single decency-duty-and-honor scout cliche right on its head. I've been a horror fan for years, and thought I'd seen everything the (WAY) overplayed "zombie apocalypse" genre had to offer. This movie is absolutely fearless in its attempts to cook up the most screwball, gross-out, left-of-center scenarios imaginable -- and it has an absolute, unabashed ball serving them up. I dunno, I thought practically everything about this film was a riot ... and buried under all that mayhem is a sweet heart to boot. As a general reference point, I loved "Shaun of the Dead" and "Zombieland." This one delivered just as many action-packed scares and gross-outs, but made me laugh more.

It's supposed to be random, stupid, and funny. I mean, I laughed at this harder than I have laughed at any movie ever. I love the acting, the comedy. the action, the direction. This movie is well done. Don't take it seriously people. To me, this was the best movie I've seen in 2016, so far.

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.

The gags are mostly puerile and uninspired — like the film was dreamed up by a bunch of tired, wired 13-year-olds; it has their insistence but little of their invention.

A horror-comedy that takes a weak premise (do high school boys even go scouting anymore?) and barely uses it, anyway.

Loud, repellent, badly written, indifferently directed and almost completely devoid of any genuine laughs, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is essentially a film for 12-year-old boys who can still derive some kind of basic entertainment for the mere sight of spurting blood or a bare breast, all the better if they can appear at the same time

A disregard for the rules established by George Romero (or the alternatives imagined by Danny Boyle) is far from the only problem with Christopher Landon's film, which does prove one thing fairly handily: Even beings deprived of the intellect and spirit granted to living humans can team up to produce a major studio motion picture.

Quero falar sobre o filme Como Sobreviver a um Ataque Zumbi. A critica especializada detonou esse filme. Isso só mostra como a critica especializada são feitas de velhos com senso de humor falecido. Isso explica esses remake de clássicos como Mad Max, Star Wars e Jurrasic World estarem recebendo criticas super positivas... Mad Max é muito bom sim, mas Star Wars e Jurrasic World não são lá essas coisas, ficaram presos ao passado. Só estão sendo elogiados por que foram filmes feitos na época que esses críticos eram jovens, e eles são fãs. E eles estão presos ao passado, sem permitir novidade, e por isso filmes com um humor mais pesado não passam. O filme tem um humor pesado e com nudes, obvio que foi proibido para melhores de 18 anos nos cinemas. O que impediu o publico do filme assistir. O filme não foi feito pra gente velha e sim pra garotos de 14 anos ou com mente de 14 (tipo eu) que gosta de rir desse tipo de humor. O filme foi uma fracasso de bilheteria. Mas agora ele chegou a internet, onde seu publico vai poder assistir. Assim como Eurotrip e Sex Drive, eu digo, esse filme vai se tornar mais um épico da internet. o Torrent já é uns do mais baixados do dia. Eu gostei demais, é um filme totalmente fora da casinha e dos padrões imposto por hollywood. Assista, mas só se você tiver senso de humor. Esse filme é o que a comedia está precisando. A comedia não precisa de Oscar, precisa de filme como Eurotrip, Sex Drive, Caindo na Estrada e Como Sobreviver a um Ataque Zumbi.

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". It is funny.
If you are looking for some Halloween movie for 90 minutes, Please enjoy it. Your kids will laugh instead of crying. LOL.

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is like Superbad with zombies added to the mix, but imagine taking away the humor, funny character's or anything interesting in the plot, and you've got this mess of a movie. Tye Sheridan was the only good thing in this movie. I wanted this movie to be good, but sadly it let me down.

Scouts Guide to the Theater Showing an Insanely Bad Movie. Zombies have been easily overused in movies a lot... and if you're going to add zombies in the movie, please make your movie worth to watch.
