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.
Noel Murray, Los Angeles Times
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.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
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.
Devan Coggan, Entertainment Weekly

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.
