An underrated comedy if I've ever seen one.

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2016)

This is a perfect example of a movie that holds up with age. This came out in 2004 when I was only 14, I'm now 26 and I love this movie even more than when I first saw it, and that really says something.
So what's there to tell about three adults in their late 20's/early 30's who live together in a small apartment?
Well, it's a classic situation if you've ever seen one. Shaun Works, Pete works, Ed just sits on his fat ass all day smoking weed and playing video games. we all know that one person right? Shaun and his girlfriend Liz live apart and seemingly don't spend that much time together apart from hanging out at the same pub over and over and over again which causes tension between Shaun and Liz.
After Shaun and Liz have a rather ugly break up due to their anniversary celebration going pear shaped, Shaun and Ed hit their favorite pub "The Winchester" and basically get blind drunk, go home carrying on like lunatics and play loud music till roughly four in the morning (which only gets put to a stop when Pete comes downstairs in a fit of rage).
After they wake up the next morning (obviously hungover as hell), Shaun goes to the corner store (again) to get his paper and snacks as part of his morning routine. Not even realizing what's going on around him, this is easily one of the funniest scenes of the entire movie. There's dead corpses in the streets, Zombies staggering towards him, people running away in fear, he even slips on blood in the convenience store and flat out doesn't even realize. It's almost as if the film wants us to believe Shaun is THAT hungover that he doesn't even remotely see the Zombie apocalypse erupting all around him.
After Shaun and Ed finally get the gist of what's going on they make plans to go and rescue Liz and Shaun's mother. The hilarity only continues when zombies try to break into their apartment and they resort to throwing vinyl records at them as a means of defense. Also, they not only make plans to kill Shaun's father in-law (Phil, who's played by Bill Nighy), but Ed ends up driving Phil's much treasured Jaguar which he's always wanted to do.
The finale at The Winchester is basically just slap stick comedy but it's enjoyable all the same. If you like some funny adult jokes at appropriate times, slapstick style action sequences and just plainly watching a bunch of fools doing what they can to survive with jokes thrown in wherever they will fit, this is the movie for you.
Terrific Comedy any way you look at it, this is the film that made me want to go to London =)
