British comedy, parody of the "undead" zombie movies.

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2008)

I like, in general, the British form of humor. I had heard of this movie but hadn't seen it, and last week found it on the shelves at my local public library.
I like Simon Pegg, and he is Shaun, the kind of guy who doesn't have much drive or ambition. he likes a simple life, hanging out with his friends at the local pub, and having a nice girlfriend.
Pretty Kate Ashfield is Liz, Shaun's girlfriend. But she is getting tired of Shaun's ways, he accommodates her gripes by promising to do things, but he never does them. So Liz is dumping him.
Shaun is energetic compared to his life-long friend, Nick Frost as Ed, who lives with Shaun and the other roommate but contributes nothing and just likes to play video games.
One fateful day all the newspapers have headlines about some mysterious virus that is causing people to become dangerous zombies. When Shaun and his friends become threatened he leads them towards the pub as a place of shelter.
The other main characters are Lucy Davis as Dianne and Dylan Moran as David.
"Expectations" are dangerous, and in view of its high IMDb rating I was expecting something much better. I was entertained but don't rate it so high.
