Advantages: The jokes are great all the way through

Disadvantages: There is not much wrong with this

This was our introduction to Simon Pegg films, and it was an excellent start. He has made various TV shows in the past, but he really excells when it comes to movies, having made others after this too.

The story is basically a comedy zombie fest, Simon plays a bit of an average guy that doesn't treat his girlfriend right. His best friend played by Nick Frost is the perfect side kick. The two are lazy pub loving guys and the pub is where they end up basing themselves from the zombie assualts.

Simon and Nick's characters shack up in the pub to avoid the zombies as that is the only place they really know of. The results are mixed with them fumbling around to defeat the typical monsters.

The other characters in the movie all play a good roll and the result is a very original and funny movie. The laughs are frequent and by the end of the movie we are really rooting for the guys to survive. For newcommers to Simon Pegg films I would recommend this one as the best starting place because it probably is his best and is certainly the most consistently funny whereas the later films try a little to hard to work and don't always give so many laughs.

Summary: Fun zombie movie with lots of laughs
