Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2005)

Shaun of the Dead (2004) 3 and 1/4 stars (A)(reviews out of 4) British comedy about a guy with problems with his girlfriend, lives with his lazy, sloppy friend, who his roommate keeps trying to kick out, plus (and it seems to be the least of his problems until about halfway) there's a zombie epidemic. It's so funny to watch this movie and see the irony of all the lines before the zombies really start to be a problem (Next time I see him, he's dead; or what I will say is this: it's not the end of the world) and also, the fact that everything, and I mean everything in the movie repeats itself (at the start, Shaun is watching Ed play 1st person shooter on PS2 and says top left, reload, nice shot, and then in middle in Winchester, Shaun is shooting a rifle, Ed says top left, reload, nice shot), (Shaun is talking to Liz about their r relationship and she says "if I don't do something...", Shaun says what do you mean do something?, then in front of Winchester with zombies all around, Shaun says if I don't do something..., Liz says what do you mean do something?), (Would you like To A Wonderful Mum or Pow! Supermum Uh the first one, You want the girl or the bloat Uh the first one). It's just really cool to see all that, and each time you watch it you notice something more. Also, it has plenty of references to Romero movies (we're coming to get you, Barbera) along with all the jokes and funny situations. And adding some intense violence couldn't hurt either. It's just a great movie all around and I would recommend it to anyone who pays really close attention to the dialog and the radios in the background or TV's because that's where most of the jokes are and otherwise you won't find it very funny. Best part: The part when Shaun tries to take a shortcut over the 20 garden fences.
