"I think they really want to get in!"

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2005)

This movie, is hands down, hilarious. Not only that, its an amazing movie simply because, although it is categorized as a comedy, it cuts across several other genres and collaborates them beautifully. A comedy, a horror/zombie flick, an action movie, a drama, a brit-flick, and finally, believe it or not, a romantic comedy. (yes to everyone in the UK, a lot of us here actually consider a "brit-flick" a genre.) To put it this way: my girlfriend, who doesn't like bloody horror flicks, action flicks, or British movies, actually admitted she liked it, after I "put her through it." It incorporates all the elements of these categories and knows exactly when to bring out each. I agree with what another poster has said, that it is amazingly "realistic" for the kind of movie that it is. Meaning, the characters react to the situations the way normal people do, for the most part. There are no real "heroes;" Shaun himself does nothing truly amazing, except for be himself, and try his best to keep his loved ones alive. I could watch this movie again and again, and for me its rare to say that about a comedy.
