Look, I don’t care what the telly says, all right? We have to get out of here. If we don’t they’ll tear us to pieces, and that is really going to exacerbate things for all of us.

Shaun of the Dead
Movie Review

Reviewed May 20, 2007
Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a slacker with family issues, roommate issues, and girlfriend issues; just when he thinks that life can’t get any worse, a zombie plague strikes London, and he must race to save his family and friends. A zombie-movie spoof with a heart … that is going to be ripped out and eaten by hordes of the walking dead. If this film had been done by Americans, it would be an American Pie-style mess of fart jokes, vulgar language, and bloody zombie attacks. It still is, but the British have a much better touch for this kind of comedy, and gags that would seem predictable and stupid in American hands have a freshness and unabashed silliness that positively charms. It’s funny enough that I almost recommended it to my mother, but bloody enough that I’m glad I didn’t — just the perfect mix for a zombie comedy (zombedy?).
