Rating: R
Movie Release Date: April 4, 2004 (UK) / September 24, 2004 (USA)
DVD Release Date: December 21, 2004
Plot 411: Two slacker friends must act fast to save themselves and their friends when a zombie outbreak spreads through London.
Review: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are Shaun and Ed, two roommates whose lives are just falling apart around them. When everyone around them becomes zombies, they must stay alive long enough to be rescued. They out run and outsmart zombies using various methods such as flinging records at them and pretending to be zombies. They gain a group of friends as they try to escape, however, Shaun's stepfather and mum are both bitten. The movie is hiliarious and my favorite Pegg movie thus far. There's everything anyone could want in a good movie - horror, comedy, romance and excitement. You'd think it'd be difficult to weave this all together but it all works well. The humor is a bit dry by American standards, but if you love British humor this movie is roll-on-the-floor funny. Just make sure you put on the subtitles so you don't miss any jokes. They're swift and come with an accent so you might just miss them if you're not paying attention.
Watch It: For a bust-a-gut good time and the first rom-zom-com.
Skip It: If Pegg's retarded antics grate on your nerves.
