Funny and refreshing.

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2004)

Look, let's be honest, this is not the best film ever made. It's not even that scarey although nicely dark in places. But is it funny, it is entertaining and it is probably the most british film you'll see in the cinema this year (not the fake film producer England you'll see elsewhere). 29 days later felt too much like drama school production to me and as for Love Actually - nice formula - but not really true british - more upper middle class rose tinted british.
One thing it did make me realise that although I discovered Black Books I have somehow over looked Spaced. Little britain, the office, the league of gentleman and now this film just go to prove how great british comedy is.

I'm hoping this feel can be injected into the new hitch hikers film. So far the cast list bodes well and has at least two people who appeared in Shaun (Martin Freeman - Authur, and Bill Naughty - Slatybartfast).
