A smashing good time!

Rating: 10/10 (24 April 2005)

This movie is brilliant because of the many levels of emotions it covers: clever, different, intelligent, fun, moving, sad, hilarious, and thirsty - it made me want a pint! :) Shaun (well played by Simon Pegg) and his best friend, Ed (played hilariously by Nick Frost), are great together. Their chemistry is palpable. Shaun's love interest (a blonde - why are they always blonde?!?) does not do a good job convincing me that she is in love with Shaun. Her two friends accurately portray their relationship and also their relationship to Shaun.
At the same time I loved Shaun's "Mum" (played flawlessly by Penelope Wilton) Barbara who was so warm playing the sweet loving mother of her little boy. The entire remaining cast is excellent.
I shouldn't forget all the extras who did such a fine job portraying the zombies. They were very well done with some good old zombie munching going on. 10/10
