Just Hilarious Zombie Comedy Drama
This is so hilarious from the start cracking lots of jokes about how to overcome the Zombie Apocalypse that they are facing.

Absolutely Genius!!!!

The perfect blend of comedy and horror. Can't think of any other work that works as well mixing those two genres. The actors are great, and the script is genuinely funny. Director Edgar Wright together with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost makes excellent movies. Highly recommended viewing!!!

Good monster movies often serve as a metaphor for one pressing social issue or another, and this bloody, hilarious mid-aughts zombie-stomper is no exception. Where _Godzilla_ grappled with post-war Japan's fear of being overshadowed by the west, where _Dawn of the Dead_ bemoaned America's quick slide into faceless consumerism, _Shaun_ tackles the existential gloom of an early adulthood reality check. From the resigned obligation of clocking in at work to the sad discovery that a long relationship persists only for convenience, the painful need to kick a lazy best friend in the ass to the dawning realization that one's parents won't be around forever, it pretty well covers the full gamut of post-college worry. That's some hefty emotional weight for a screwball comedy, but the near-constant presence of chunky, scarlet-drenched zombie wanderers and snappy, life-or-death decisions give us just enough distraction to avoid getting tangled up in all the malaise and self-loathing.

We're also granted frequent opportunity to laugh until our sides hurt. _Shaun_ represents something of a long-form reunion vehicle for the short-lived (but well-loved) British TV sitcom _Spaced_, with several actors and creatives happily (if, sometimes, only fleetingly) reunited on the big screen. The film's flippant, sarcastic tone is a perfect successor to that two-season series; clever and witty, replete with effective callbacks and natural, unpredictable setups; gleefully subverting a well-recognized genre while also celebrating it. The casual humor clicks immediately, aided at all the right times by a marvelous, memorable rock soundtrack, while the heartier stuff takes a bit longer to settle but, eventually, swings with just as much force. This is one of my all-timers.
