I think I laughed 3 times during this movie. The only thing that kept me watching was hoping it would get funnier. I thought it must get funnier because everyone had raved about this film; it never did. The best I can say was that it was OK. I think I laughed 3 times during this movie.

Not anywhere as funny as I thought it should be. From all the reviews, I thought it would be clever, but it was on the level with dumb sex comedies with the addition of zombies. Couldn't stand the characters and it was rushed and lame Not anywhere as funny as I thought it should be.

Everybody's gone wild about this zom-com, and I'm not loving it. Nick Frost and Simon Pegg have been in a few movies together, and I haven't liked any of them. Maybe there's something wrong with me, but like I said, I'm not loving it.

Overrated clap-trap that has amazingly found its way into the consciousness of self-proclaimed geeks, nerds and other cretins and subsequently opened the floodgates for the current spate of zombie-obsessed pop culture rubbish. Film isOverrated clap-trap that has amazingly found its way into the consciousness of self-proclaimed geeks, nerds and other cretins and subsequently opened the floodgates for the current spate of zombie-obsessed pop culture rubbish. Film is entertaining enough upon first viewing but after the first half hour you don't exactly need powers of clairvoyance to guess what's going to happen next.… Expand

Shaun of the Dead is hilarious at times but also inconsistent and contrived.

An effective comedy that pays heavy tribute to the zombie genre that more or less began with 1968's superb "Night of the Living Dead". The editing is tight and the effects are appropriately gruesome. Not all of the gags hit home with meAn effective comedy that pays heavy tribute to the zombie genre that more or less began with 1968's superb "Night of the Living Dead". The editing is tight and the effects are appropriately gruesome. Not all of the gags hit home with me though and if it were more ambitious, it would've written its characters with more care.… Expand
