"Love Actually" my arse...

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2004)

With the recent uprise of awful sitcoms here in the UK, it's nice to see that good British comedy isn't truly dead (arf!). Even better to see a good British comedy film that responds so well to our friends across the Atlantic (and one that credits neither Richard Curtis or Hugh Grant).
Having never watched the (apparently excellent) series "Spaced", and not being a massive fan of zombie movies, I wasn't really sure how I was going to respond to this.
Thankfully, I loved it. It may be a zombie film, but it's the hilarious dialogue and brilliant chemistry between the characters that warms the core of this movie. Crucially, the film maintains a suitable balance between drama and comedy at the right moments, and fortunately (unlike a lot of films in this genre) never plunges to ridiculousness.
The Wayans brothers could've learned a thing or two from this, had it come before the awful "Scary Movie" series. I'll be checking out "Spaced" very soon. 8/10
