Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Three scouts and a sexy waitress battle zombies in a small town that is suffering an apocalypse, caused by an accidental viral outbreak. After Shaun of the Dead the zombie sub genre has been over saturated by silly zombie films with ever sillier titles, and having sat through quite a few I watched this with little expectation. Thankfully this one turned out better than many. The film is fast paced with plenty of onscreen violence and some decent special effects, although the CGI does look obvious. Lots of humour including plenty of toilet and sex gags, including one of our heroes pulling on the penis of an old zombie. Another great scene has another old zombie who has lost her dentures unable inflict a flesh bite. Special mention to David Koechner as the toupee wearing, Dolly Parton loving scout leader come zombie. Fun movie but I'd probably not watch it again.

Its a great movie with a lot of good vibes its not really a scary movie perse but its got the same relaxed feel and its like what real people would do in a zombie Apocalypse and honestly one of the best zombie movies ive seen

I imagine that there is an audience out there for a movie like this - namely immature adolescents who are tickled by the mere mention or display of violent and sexual material. Older viewers like myself will probably find the movie a non stop display of desperation by the screenwriters and the director. It's possible to make a funny, gory and outrageous zombie movie - check out Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive", for example. But you have to be clever and imaginative, and this movie simply isn't for the most part. It all feels very labored and heavy handed. Another big problem is that all the characters - including the scouts - aren't all that likable or sympathetic. You won't care about them, and will wish that they'll all be killed quickly so that the movie will end early. The movie also has some telltale signs that it was severely cut down in the editing room, given a number of plot points feel rushed and/or incomplete. It's easy to see why this performed very dismally at the box office.

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.
