The year’s most entertaining film not named Spider-Man: Far From Home or Dolemite Is My Name, Zombieland: Double Tap might nevertheless top those two challengers in terms of delivering the most pure distillation of cinematic fun.

The continuing post-apocalyptic adventures of Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) Wichita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) have no distracting message(s) to dilute its 100 minutes of fun — once again rooted in a potent combination of zippy one-liners, cool on-screen graphics and bloody battles with the undead, crisply lensed by series shepherd Ruben Fleischer.

Any old excuse will do to get the nontraditional family back together, though the chosen one involving Little Rock hitting the road with airhead hippie Berkeley (Avan Jogia, Shaft), whose gun-free stance freaks out protective father figure Tallahassee, humorously and believably gets them out of their White House (yes, that one) safe haven.

A return to the outside world also allows them to cross paths with new characters like a humorously familiar duo that’s basically the bizarro equivalent of the Tallahassee/Columbus team, and badass Nevada (Rosario Dawson), whose Elvis-themed hideaway becomes the site of an impressive, elaborate single-take fight sequence.

But stealing each of her Double Tap scenes is Zoey Deutch (Everybody Wants Some!!) as Madison, a textbook ditz with a gift for inopportune timing and spewing unintentionally funny lines. It’s a schtick that would seemingly grow old within minutes, but Deutch gradually manages to make Madison endearing and welcome — much like this unexpectedly resilient series.
