Lukewarm Fuzz

Rating: 1/10 (10 May 2007)

Let me preface this by saying that I LOVED Shaun of the Dead. It was brilliant. I was eagerly anticipating watching this movie, and therefore it probably came as a far far worse disappointment to me than to viewers who go in 'cold'.
That said, where was the actual humor in this? I honestly cannot understand these high ratings and positive reviews. I sat through this entire movie waiting for it to get funny, and literally there was not one single humorous line throughout the entire film. It was like watching a B cop movie, that's it. The plot wasn't funny, the characters weren't funny, the 'whodunit' results at the end weren't funny. This was just flat out terrible in all regards. Bland as oatmeal mush, seriously.
Some people are going to say I just don't 'get' British humor. No. I LOVE British humor pretty much universally. There just wasn't any of it in this movie.
