InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
empatmk The title has explained about this film, that is a zombie comedy with a high school friends background. And for zombie running fans, this is a movie that must be seen because it has element of surprises and definitely not bad at all for the special effects. High school best friends, girls, strip club, zombies, armies, and party. Just enjoy the movie!
Floated2 Comparing this film to other Zombie films, Scouts Guide doesn't rank among those other films such as Zombieland or even Shawn of the Dead. Scouts is rating R which is filled with lots of language, some nudity and typical zombie violence but the atmosphere of the film feels more so PG-13 (or so towards its audience). Not much comedy in the film and it results in off bizarre zombie gags that aren't funny. The lead character of Ben (Tye Sheridan) does a good job playing the likable lead character along with his friends, which are there as typical characters and not as likable. This film plays out as a cross between Superbad and Zombieland, but not as funny or entertaining, interesting as those two. Scouts is quite decent but as a whole it's otherly predictable and quite forgettable.
wilderblue2005 A great little movie, that doesn't achieve the heights that it could have, but ... there is enough here as a silly, non-serious zombie flick that actually has some great laugh out loud moments that most films simply cannot achieve.Well put together, a few generic story lines ... but weaved together with joy and enthusiasm ... this must have been a hoot to make, with a good cast and some great moments ... zombie cats anyone?Get some friends, some booze and kick back for some unexpected giggles ... and some penis grabbing, booby loving, teen style zombie bashing goodness.
sol- Exactly what you would expect from a film with such a title, the plot of this horror comedy has three scouts warding off a zombie plague using their wilderness survival skills. Some of their ingenuity is remarkable and the trio has good chemistry together, as well as with co-star Sarah Dumont who joins forces with them for a brief spell. The film does not quite milk the premise for all its potential; there are far more scenes of the characters discussing friendships, crushes and social awkwardness than there are scenes of them warding off the zombies, and the film misses the opportunity for more laughs by making the testing of friendships theme so prominent and spelled out. That said, when the film is funny, it is very, very funny - and daringly outrageous too. Throughout the course of the film we see a zombie going down on a girl with her legs spread open, a certain part of male zombie's anatomy ripped off, a zombie deer going insane, and in an especially dark comedic touch, the top of a broken beer bottle providing a funnel of blood from a zombie's forehead. Cloris Leachman also turns up (briefly) as a cantankerous neighbour, but Blake Anderson has the most memorable cameo as a janitor in the opening scene with headphones on full blast. Speaking of which, the film has very nifty pop song soundtrack and there are a couple of very funny, twisted moments involving songs from Dolly Parton and Britney Spears. In an era of countless zombie movie variants, this film stacks up pretty well even if it could have done more with the premise.
