Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

  Tyler picked the movie last night.  I guess he was tired of our real-life apocalypse.

Things have settled down for Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Wichita (Emma Stone), Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), and Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) over the past ten years but domestic bliss doesn't suit some of them as well as others.  Little Rock in particular longs for the company of people her own age.  After Columbus' proposal to Wichita goes awry, the ladies take off for the open road.  Columbus attempts to move on with Madison (Zoey Deutch) but when Wichita unexpectedly returns with news that Little Rock ditched her for a New Age hippie named Berkeley (Avan Jogia), he and Tallahassee immediately join her in a rescue mission.

It's been ten years since the last Zombieland but the sequel loses none of the self-aware charm.  Also, the mid-credits scene is pure gold.  If you are looking for a warm, funny, nostalgic-without-the-schmaltz escape from reality, you could do a lot worse than Double Tap.
