Brilliant and funny flick

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2007)

Get ready ladies and gentlemen for Nick Frost and Simon Pegg's second film. This film, the clever remake of another film, will keep you on your toes from the first, hilarious moments, till the middle twist and then all the way to the end. When Simon and Nick decided to shoot "The Shaun of the Dead", there was no moment of the film where they lied about "a romantic comedy, with zombies". Same here. You think you are dealing with a comedy until the plot is revealed (I was trapped as I thought what the plot was until it caught me by surprise, I had not watched their source, which I will not tell here), which is great because at the beginning you are just laughing at the misfortunes of this big town policeman in a small peaceful village. And if you are mistaken about this being a funny film, just wait and enjoy how well even in the most unexpected moments they manage to drop the odd joke or so and make you smile. A brilliant film, just buy and watch again!
