Romantic comedy, zombies, humor? It would seem a strange combination, were it not for the fact that it was done by the same people who made "Spaced", one of the three best British sitcoms ever (the others being "Father Ted" and "Black Books"). The TV series was great, I'm surprised a lot of people here didn't watch it. Anyway, the film is very funny, at the same time it is not a mere "spoof" of the genre, having realistic zombies (not that I ever saw one myself, but you know what I mean) and some moments that are almost scary. Good supporting cast too, I'd only like Jessica Stevenson to have a bigger role, she's funny. Too bad here (I lived in London, but I'm living in Brazil right now) they didn't release it in the cinemas, going directly to video/DVD. Instead they're showing the awful and humorless "Exorcist: The Beginning" in several theaters. Shame.
