SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE (2015)

Ben (Tye Sheridan, fast becoming one of my favorite actors), Carter (Logan Miller), and Augie (Joey Morgan) are best friends in high school who've been both friends and scouts since meeting as little boys.  Ben and Carter are ready to leave the scouts behind them - feel they're too old to be putting up with the teasing, and lack of play from girls that being a scout doesn't get them - but Augie lives for the scouts so they attend one final campout in his honor, trying to figure out how to tell him they're bailing.  Unfortunately, the guys are interrupted by a viral outbreak, via a local chemical company, that heralds the zombie apocalypse - and it will take all their training and skills as scouts to save the world ... as well as a secret party the seniors are throwing that sets them up as a zombie buffet.  This - film - is - HILARIOUS, the best zombie comedy I've seen since Dance of the Dead, with great zombies, terrific characters, a lot of heart, and even more laughs.  Absolutely wonderful. (rated R)  A+
