I liked it. If you get confused, just go to a british forum and ask questions. Be sure to call them chavs and limeys. They like that.

I thought it was a very funny movie and if it is cheap you should buy it. Also do not address any British person by the terms used above.

May I inquire as to why? Is it a derogatory kind of thing?

never heard chav, limey goes back to the days of wooden sailing vessels and british navy and their maritime empire. The disease known as scurvy was a major problem for sailors that lead to many deaths, and it's actually nothing but a severe vitamin C deficiency. It was eventually discovered that citrus fruits prevented the onset of scurvy, limes being a primary source, thus british sailors became known as limeys.

You still dont address someone as a chav, it isnt even a big deal.

This is a great movie. It's funny as hell and has some great gore moments. If you like zombie movies like the Dead series (the original Night, Dawn, Day, Land, and the new Dawn) then I highly recommend this flick.

It was OK, but it wasn't "spectacularly funny" or anything of the sort.

It was a pretty good movie, even though it wasn't a movie that made me laugh very much...but still, the gore in Shaun of the Dead will satisfy you. :)

I think what impressed me most about the movie is how they juggled genres through the whole thing. It's a better comedy than most comedies, and it's a better zombie movie than most of those sorts of horror movies.

It also has the best use of Queen in a movie. EVER.

Yeah, Shaun of the Dead is a great movie. I loved it and I'm looking forward to Hot Fuzz, which is coming out in April (I believe it's already out in England). It's from the same guys who did Shaun, and judging by the trailers, it borrows a lot of the same gags that Shaun of the Dead used. Definitely a must-see.

Its AWESOME. If anyone doesnt find it funny, they obviously dont get subtle British humor. Althought the humor in Shaun of the Dead is hardly subtle :lol:

It's a great movie. It's your average, British rom-com........With zombies. Lots, and lots of zombies.
