Screen Daily
Genre fans close in age to the characters depicted onscreen should be appreciative of the enjoyably familiar mix of inspired comedy moments, smart zingers, grossout gags and nudity offered by the apostrophe-phobic Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. - 60
The New York Times
It’s all too dumb and ribald for most tastes, but if you liked all the zombie comedies that came before, well, here’s another one. - 50
Movie Nation
It doesn’t have the laughs or the killer cast of “Superbad,” but there are gory giggles aplenty in this B-movie addition to the genre that displaced vampires once Edward impregnated Bella. - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
This “Guide” is not for everyone; it gleefully earns its hard-R rating. But folks who enjoy their teen humor splattered with zombie guts won’t be disappointed. Scout’s honor. - 42
The A.V. Club
On the plus side, the film is high energy and moves quickly. And some of the zombie gore effects are fun, reaching nearly Raimi-esque heights of splatter during the climactic battle. None of it is really scary, though, especially since it’s so predictable. - 25
RogerEbert.com
Loud, repellent, badly written, indifferently directed and almost completely devoid of any genuine laughs, Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is essentially a film for 12-year-old boys who can still derive some kind of basic entertainment for the mere sight of spurting blood or a bare breast, all the better if they can appear at the same time - 25
Slant Magazine
The flick is an artless, puerile shadow of the likes of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Cornetto trilogy. - 25
New York Post
A horror-comedy that takes a weak premise (do high school boys even go scouting anymore?) and barely uses it, anyway.
