One of the worst movies I have ever seen

Rating: 3/10 (21 May 2005)

First off, I'm English, so the comedy, plot etc. should be right up my alley. I bought this on DVD after everyone said it's "hilarious" and "brilliant", then saw a 30 second preview, and it looked okay. What a waste of £14.
The story goes that Shaun is a bum in a crap relationship and has a fat friend and a step father whom he hates. Suddenly, zombies. No reason for them being there, they just arrive. It makes as little sense as the big twist at the end of Scream. The rest of the plot is so formulaic and predictable - his mother is obviously going to become a zombie, that annoying prick boyfriend guy is gonna die but you won't care, he'll get the girl back, the fat guy will try to be funny by being fat and a comic relief character. They decide to round themselves up and barricade up in the pub.
The only part of the movie that raised a chuckle is when Shaun tries to vault over a garden fence, which collapses... but save your money, you can see this in the 30 second preview.
Each character is as 1 dimensional as a Mr Man. Fat guy is just a typical fat guy. Shaun tries to take control but he's a doormat. What a terrible car-wreck of a film.
