Shaun Of The Dead rocks! I'll admit I thought at first that it was "just another zombie movie" and that it would suck. I was wrong on so many levels. This british hor-medy (my word, feel free to use it) made me think of how would I deal with the zombie apocalypse and how would I get to my friends and loved ones. It takes a genre and doesn't spoof or parody it, but injects a bit of humor into a film of death and destruction.
Simon Pegg plays Shaun, an electronics clerk that seems to be lost in life until one day everything just goes bad. His pen busts and leaks red ink, his girlfriend breaks up with him and it just doesn't look good for him. His best friend Ed (Nick Frost) takes him to the Winchester Pub and hoping to cheer Shaun up, they have drinks and head back home. Their roommate is a dork (my opinion) and scolds them for playing music too loud. Ed asks: "What's wrong with your hand?" and the roommate goes on about a mugger that bit him and finally goes upstairs to sleep.
The next morning Shaun goes to the market and is oblivious to his surroundings. Zombies are basically all around and only a few humans are left. Does Shaun survive? Does he get his girlfriend back? Does Ed ever get off the couch? You'll have to watch and find out!
