Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's the best public relations boost Scouting has had since it ended its ban on gay leaders, not to mention a pretty decent zombie film.

After decades of well-trodden zombie tropes, a successful zombie movie has to be at least one of three things: a) original b) funny or c) actually scary. Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse doesn't earn a merit badge in any one of those categories.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
As horror, "Scouts Guide" is too frivolous to thrill. As comedy, it leans too much on scenes that see the teens groping big-breasted topless zombies or the beasties sexually molesting young girls.

Will make you want to punch the nearest teenage boy in the face.
