Shaun of the dead - Eat your heart out!

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2007)

For all fans of Shaun of the Dead, or even just British comedy, this is a hilarious must see! I started out thinking to myself "i knew they couldn't make something as funny as "Shaun of the Dead", i ended the movie thinking "Awsome!" Yet again Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make up an incredibly funny pair who have serious differences but somehow form a bond, with very funny consequences.The film has a lot of the same humour and gory violence as the first. The story is written about a top city cop who is sent into the so-called quiet country to be a SGT. However, when he arrives he finds the force (or should i say "service") a complete disaster and some very mysterious characters. Then after a pair of very suspicious deaths take place the story comes to life. Its true that you have to be patient with the first 10-20 minutes of the film as the jokes are not exactly coming thick and fast, and then after a promising plot, the ending is hugely ridiculous, but so ridiculous that you will find yourself in stitches laughing at the explosive finish! One slight criticism is that it was probably a bit long and seemed to drag on a bit towards the end, but this is one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time and very much worth the watch! So you thought Shaun of the Dead was funny - just wait until you see Hot Fuzz!!
