SHAUN OF THE DEAD (2004)

EDGAR WRIGHT

Plot

Shaun is a man about to get very familiar with his thirties and he's not pleased, a crap dead end job, a social life that revolves in its entirety around his local, a girlfriend, who's beginning to realise he's as tragic as he knows he is, and a best mate who's the only person in his insular universe who, comparatively, makes him look like he's got his act sorted. What Shaun needs is an outbreak of flesh eating zombies to get his priorities in perspective and, as a luck would have it, his neck of suburbia is having something of an epidemic. 'Shaun of the Dead' has the production values of a TV sitcom, the acting's wooden, the characters are cheesy, the premise is ridiculous and it's a work of utter, utter comedic genius... roll on the second coming.
