Having never heard of this, I went into the film expecting little more than the typical D-level trash found on most streaming sites. You know what I mean; the hundreds of zombie movies that appear to have been filmed by bored high school kids during summer vacation. The experience was thankfully more akin to Zombieland.

Combining witty (frequently over-the-top) humor, clever sight gags, inventive zombie death and dismemberment scenes and the best use of a trampoline ever, Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is not only similar in tone to the 2009 horror comedy hit (Zombieland) but is easily the best and most fun zombie romp since Woody Harrelson's epic quest for Twinkies. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot, but don’t spoil anything with the trailer. I haven't seen the trailer, but I hear it gives away least two memorable scenes.
