Pleasant Brit of a Surprise

Rating: 6/10 (22 March 2005)

My screen writing professor had us watch this in class one day because it followed the Jack Epps style of writing.
The title put me off. I thought I would have to be subject to another cheesy horror film that I was forced to watch by my older siblings when I was a kid. But I was pleasantly surprised.
I liked this movie for its round-about British humor and the zombie action. I have watched many British films and shows and so I understood a lot the humor, whereas my fellow classmates were lost.
Shaun's character is hilarious. I like that he is almost 30 and still lives in a flat with his friend from university but then has his best friend who is practically a schlep and goes on Shaun's dates with Liz.
I liked Shaun's mum as she was trying to not get into the way. The step dad cracks me up with his rigid ways and then trying to keep the Jag all nice and neat while driving through London throughout "Z-day"
Overall, this movie has great humor and makes great impressions of the zombies. I wasn't put off by their actions in this film as they can be absolutely annoying in other films.
I would watch this any day to keep my spirits up.
