The zombies are going to get you!

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2007)

It's a middle-laughable comedy, with many typical characteristics of the British humour, about a guy who is a loser but doesn't want to accept that! He lives with the typical friend who is "even loser than him" and has a girlfriend that is fed up of him because he wants to do always the same things and wants to go always to the same pub: the Winchester! One morning, after his girlfriend dumped him, the world around started to change, people started to have strange reactions and an ugly face but he didn't even noticed! The TV news tried to warn him to a strange epidemic, but he didn't care! Until he found a sympathetic young girl in the garden that he, and his friend Ed, thought just to be a little "stoned"!! Then, they woke up to the reality: Yes, there were Zombies to get Shaun, his friends and his mum!
It's a spoof movie, a clear parody to the zombies' movies, having some great jokes  the ones that the British are specialists to do  but it's not the kind of movie that you start to laugh in the beginning and just stop in the end! It has its moments. Some of non-sense comedy; some of intelligent humour; but also many of typical clichés. It's not excellent, but it's not bad either, it's just in the middle. In my particular case I got one extra element of humour: I found our "friend" Shaun a bit similar (especially in his face) to a husband of a friend of mine (girl, of course)! It was pretty amazing imagine the film's title with his name, instead of Shaun's!!!
