We always knew zombies were funny!!

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2004)

At last, someone has taken the only logical step with a zombie movie: made a comedy out of it!! We always laughed at the campiness at Dawn of the Dead and other such flicks, the filmmakers have made the natural progression to romantic zombie comedy.
For zombies are not incredibly scary. Yeah, they eat ya, but you pretty much have to be nailed to the floor for them to catch you.
Shaun of the Dead has taken this approach with the zombie flick, and has done it to tremendous applause! This film is funny, satirical, a bit tender at times but very entertaining. It is the best approach to a zombie film I have ever seen.
It also shows that comedy is not dead, it's just American comedy that's dead. The Brits have continued to "nail it", from Monty Python to the original "Who's Line is it Anyway?" to "Office Space" and now "Shaun of the Dead".
Hollywood can learn something about how to make funny movies from these cats.
9 out of 10. There is a bit in the middle where it slows down too much, but beyond that it is a classic.
