So what's the Plan then?

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2007)

Actually I was just curious of this movie because of Hot Fuzz(great one if you asked me). Since I discovered it was made by the same person behind the aforementioned, I read some reviews and can't help myself but see this one. And BAM!!!!! Wow!!! Can't even believe I missed this kind of movie at the cinema though can't remember if this was shown on our local theatre.
But ever since I started watching I was addicted already, worth a numerous viewing. Thanks to its memorable quotes and scenes that to this day keeps me giggle. For example where the zombified pub owner was attacked by the three protagonist in the tune of "Don't stop me now" by Queen. Not that original though but still hilarious. Wright and Pegg really deserves some credits here(they did it again in Hot Fuzz), such witty and carefully crafted dialogues. I can't even spot some references the fourth time around for its subtleness.
Though the story is very simple, the humor that keeps the story worth watchable, a man in his late twenties, Shaun(Pegg), with some issues even me faces in life, his gal(Ashfield), his pal(Frost), his flatmate(Seranifowicz), his mum(Wilton), his dad... I mean stepdad(Nighy). Because of this he's not even distracted by the plague occurrences until the confrontation with the zombie... oops the "zed" word itself. So what do you think they should do? "Well, have a sit down?" Lol. Priceless.
Unlike other movies with characters that can quickly adapt to such situation, this movie shows how stupid people can still make stupid plans in the middle of a crisis. "Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over." How's that for a change? But what a great character development happens to Shaun later on the movie.I was really sorry for him. Can't believe myself I feel his pain, great execution by the actor, two thumbs up. Though I thought he was a real action star in Hot Fuzz. Well he fooled me there. Shame.
I really recommend this movie to everyone. Don't be fooled by the title. It's not a spoof as everyone thought its more of a homage. Its a story that spoof itself with references and with tight script. No wonder Romero love this movie. Though you may be disturbed for its gore, saddened for its heavy scenes, laugh for its seriousness and laugh some more for its craziness.
The whole thing is its entertaining. It really beats the like of Spiderman, Shrek and Pirates of the Caribbean sequels - Uumm... "That is not true, made up, shouldn't have said that, Sorry". Makes a good addition to your collection. Classic already.
