great movie. only thing is, it's hard for us americans to catch all the witty dialogue with that speedy british accent going. sigh.

Can I buy any of you cunts a drink?
fantastic movie

american comedy v british comedy: they come from two different processes, the best British comedy has always been stuff that is a little - different and usually has one or two writers we don't do prime time comedy anywhere near as polished as the comedy factories(how many writers??) in the U.S

Are you been seved hasn't been shown over here for years, why you are still getting re runs is anyone guess, but it probably means it's getting the ratings so you must actually still quite like it over there

watched it over the weekend. thought it was way better than dawn of the dead. it was funny in a silly kinda way, yet not overdone in the typical american style. won\'t watch it again, but did have a few laughs.

I watched it twice over the weekend, and thought it was funny as hell. I had to rewind quite a few times when he tried to hurdle the fence...

I walk into the middle of it yesterday at my brothers house, ive seen that movie so many times, but it never stops being hilarious, that Queen scene is the best.

I agree awesome movie. Something about British humor. The first Zomedy if you will. I like the Dawn of the Dead music mixed in with it. Nice touch.

I liked the beginning, and the very end (from when the army rescues them).

I didn't like the middle, dispised the mum and his fat friend, and went out to get a cup of milk somewhere in the pub scene.

It started off funny, went slightly serious (which didn't work because it started funny and i kept expecting jokes), and back to funny. Confusing, but worth a watch.

I also like the throw back to Night of the Living dead when Shaun is talking on the phone with his mum and Pete is like "We're coming to get you Barbara!!"

My son and I laughed our asses off watching this film... one of the best comedy films of the decade... hands down.

guthmund · 07-27-2005, 08:10 AM

Saw it this last weekend and it was very, very funny.

The best part (well, aside from the Queen part in the pub) was the very first day Shaun walks to work and you catch all the zombie stuff around him that he doesn't seem to notice. In the grocery he even slips on something (I assume it's blood and guts), but doesn't even bother to look down.

Good stuff.

fhqwhgads · 07-29-2005, 09:47 AM

Did you know that on several occasion... he touched me?

That wasn't true. Made it up, shouldn't have, sorry.

Loved the gratuitous use of the tether ball...
