Shaun of the dead

I've just watched it. Seriously one of the most hilarious movies I've ever watched. For those of you who've never heard of it, its basically a farcical (speeling?) zombie movie. Basically theres your average Joe, named Shaun, and its just about his story when zombies decide to show up, and everyone gets infected. I don't think its a good idea to give away the funny parts, so just take my word for it. Its bloody hilarious. Its different because its a British film, so it hasn't been hollywoodised. The accents (includes a couple who are Irish) are a welcome change to your average movie.

I'm guessing some of you won't really like it. It includes a bit of slap-stick comedy, and if thats not your type, then maybe its not your kind of movie. It also loses a bit towards the end in terms of its humourousness, but makes up for it in the rest of the movie. Of course, it is based on a horror film, so it does have to take a bit away from that genre. For those of you who have watched it, I loved the record part, and the tennis ball part the best. For those of you who haven't seen it, keep in mind that I've got it if anyone wants a copy.
