The Bottom Line:
The more you know about zombie movies the funnier you'll find this inspired homage to/spoof of them; Romero would be proud of the way Wright and co. mix gore and humor with just a dash of sly social commentary. |

| Bloody British barmcakes. There is something about this type of humor I guess...I hate to say it cause I can't put my finger on it, but it's not always me cup of tea....Hmmm, can't explain it. I ain't got no barney. Sorry mate! No offense super-fans of this instant "classic"! I don't really like this bloke Shaun. Just don't. Well, he's OK I guess. But I HATE his dim mate salad dodger "Ed". Ed is already dead in many ways, so no big loss when the sad sack Deacon turns. But why keep the saddo around? You can shoot him now and not feel guilty. You know here's the deal for me--I find me patience completely spent by totally inept arses sabbing each other up with the nonstop schoolboy howler throughout an entire bloody picture. Drips and doylems deserve death. I've noticed with these post-apocalyptic/zombie flicks that the biggest problem--the biggest threat to you--is the other scunts your with. They'll get you killed my son! And man are they bloody annoying--all that shouting, ding-dongs, belly aching and all around stupidity. Alright, some funny moments so don't mean to whiz on your fish and chips if this is your bag. How did these blokes ever run an empire so large the sun never set on it? Nah just kidding mate, this flick's a jolly good time governor. |
| A Chick Flick? | 2008-12-12 | 4 / 5 |

| This is an extremely funny and sardonic movie -- among other things the US intro to Simon Pegg -- but it was listed on the "Gifts Ideas for Women" as a chick flick! My wife and her friends hate this film: we will reserve an analysis of their odd filmic tastes for another post. However I only assume the zombie gift-people at were extending the snarky nature of this excellent film by offering it up alongside "Become Jane" and "My Fair Lady". There indeed are women in Shaun of the Dead, although most have hollow eyes, are visibly rotting and are ceaselessly hungry for human flesh. Madonna aside -- you can draw your own conclusions here -- I don't get it as a choice for that "special someone". |

| Great Zombie-killin' Movie! | 2008-11-22 | 5 / 5 |

| If you're the cheesy horror movie lover, this movie was made for you... Not so cheesy itself, but definitely a horror movie you can laugh with alone or as a group on movie night. |
