If you are looking for a zombie themed movie that is done in a comedic way, then there are better alternatives to "Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse." If you are looking for a zombie themed movie that has some sex, some nudity, and some gratuitous violence, then by all means check this out. It's no where close to being remotely near a list of the best zombie movies around, but there's some entertainment to be found.
There are a lot of idiotic and illogical things that happen in this movie, that it felt like it was actually insulting my intelligence. A lot of the ideas simply felt half-baked, and seemed to even defy it's own established rules. Of course that's neither here nor there, because I think the filmmakers didn't really care, and were doing things here just for the fun of it. They weren't wrong in thinking that.
Despite the glaring issues with this film, I did find many things I enjoyed. The familiar story tropes and character archtypes here didn't bother me, because I thought they actually had a great ensemble cast here. Some of the set-pieces were also very entertaining to watch, from scenes involving a trampoline, cats, and everything involving David Koechner and Cloris Leachman. I also greatly enjoyed the gory specials effects that were shown, from torsos caving in, to heads exploding. A lot of that were spectacularly done.
"Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse" had it's heart in the right place in trying to make a low-rent and non-serious fun Zombie movie. A lot of the jokes may have fallen flat, and the jump scares are too telegraphed, but where else are you going to see a movie where a Zombie sings a Britney Spears song?
