Can Zombies be Funny?

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2013)

Most likely, but they can't deliver a punchline to save their lives. I enjoyed this movie, but it's no Oscar contender. This was my first Simon Pegg movie if you don't count the Star Trek films. Pitting two losers against the zombie apocalypse was an enjoyable premise and they pulled if off pretty well. This isn't an "end of the world" kind of zombie film, more a "there goes the neighborhood" type that changes the character's lives, but doesn't have any real world impact at the end. The zombies were nearly "Walking Dead" caliber in realism. Got a little serious at the end (but it's death, after all). Could've been a lot funnier if I was drinking, but overall a fun film. Perhaps a light second act sandwiched between "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later" in a zombie marathon.
