Plot: On Friday, Shaun is in a rut. At 29, he's coasted through life--and still hasn't gotten very far, usually winding up at the local pub, the Winchester. His roommate Ed looks up to him--when he can take...( read more read more... ) his eyes off the TV, that is. Liz is re-evaluating their relationship, particularly after Shaun fails to do something special for their anniversary on Saturday. That day, there are train delays, people fainting in the streets, TV news reporters on unexplained calamities. No, it can't be--but it is--the dead have risen. Saturday's isolated incidents mushroom into a full-on zombie assault and, once daylight breaks, it's Sunday bloody Sunday. As manners and flesh take a beating, it's time to separate men from meat, humans from zombies, and living from undead. Shaun and Ed grab whatever is at hand to repel the attacking zombies, summoning reserves of strength they didn't know they possessed and straining muscles they forgot they had. Rounding up friends and family, they press on towards the sanctuary of the Winchester. All that stands in their way are hordes of the flesh eating undead.

    "It's just one of those days when you're feeling a little...dead."

    It's often said that the true character of a man is only revealed in times of dire crisis, and for likable, lovelorn loser Shaun (Simon Pegg), that moment of reckoning came when the dead rose from their slumber to feast on the flesh of the living. A hapless electronics store employee who spends most of his spare time downing pints at the local pub with his roommate, Ed (Nick Frost), Shaun's life seems to fall apart when he is dumped by his girlfriend, Liz (Kate Ashfield), and his obnoxious stepfather, Philip (Bill Nighy), shows up to berate him for not being more attentive to his caring mother Barbara (Penelope Wilton) -- especially since he forgot to send flowers for her birthday. Things take a turn for the worse when the dead return to stake their claim on the Earth, and though the chaos that follows threatens to swallow up all of England, it's up to Shaun to keep his cool and prove himself once and for all by successfully rescuing Liz and his mother. With his trusty roommate by his side, nothing -- not even the living dead -- can stand between Shaun and the two most important women in his life.

    Hands down this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. From the part where Shaun and Ed throw records at the zombies in the back yard to the part where Shaun and Ed plan out their mother's rescue (and step father's demise) this movie is sheer brilliance. The movie starts off where Shaun and Liz are discussing each other's friends and how they just don't like them. A day or so later, on their anniversary, Shaun and Liz break up. Another day later and the town is infested with zombies. Shaun overall is just having a bad day and in addition to that is oblivious to the fact that the town is infested with zombies. As the movie goes on we can't help but realize how a craving for beer and love can over take the fact that there's a group of zombies outside waiting to eat Shaun and Ed. I'd overall recommend this to humor fans, zombie fans, horror/comedy fans, or people who are just in the mood for a good romantic comedy with zombies. This is a must see.

    Has to be the one of the best comedy movies I have seen. I brings together two awesome things, Zombies, and comedy. For a parody movie it is amazing. It does not even seem like one it is that good. Recommended to watch with some friends and get really into the movie, and laugh your ass off.

    I don't understand Flixster's summaries sometimes. What is wrong with the mucked up bill? Simon Pegg is 9th on the Flixster bill. It's a damn outrage.
