Okay zombie fans or slacker fans, Shaun of the Dead was actually pretty good. I say this, because it's not the gendre of film that I usually like. But it was offbeat and funny and well written. The gore wasn't scary either. And it had a love theme— it was also about family, friends and zombies. It was pure entertainment. No hard to follow story line. And moments of surprise.
A 29 year old wakes up one day and starts fighting zombies. Something which he learns, he's good at. Or at least has a plan on how to save his mother, girlfriend and best friend to live another day. If you've seen the previews, you've seen the movie but it doesn't begin to give you the offbeat jokes and fun camera shots. Though a bit campy at times, the movie was charming for a horror comedy.
So I'm not giving it the ax. Quite the contrary. If you want to go with a bunch of friends after happy hour, or a date you don't know very well, or someone you've been married to for 10 years, this movie is all-around fun.
Worth the money rating: $$$
