Shaun Of The Dead

Plot: A man decides to turn his life around only after his girlfriend dumps him, and a zombie invasion overruns England.

Review: Simon Pegg's first movie with Edgar Wright and Nick Frost of three movies including Hot Fuzz and The World's End. Probably the best zombie comedy of all time! Simon Pegg plays Shaun, a 29 year old man whos girfriend was bored with the same old routine and dumped him, and lives with roommate Ed (Nick Frost) who just drinks and plays videogames over and over. Even their other roommate Pete (Peter Serafinowicz) says that Shaun needs to change things. So after the breakup, Shaun and Ed decide to get trashed and wakeup the next day completely hungover to find out that there is a zombie invasion in England.

 

Shaun then decides to save his girlfriend Liz's (Kate Ashfield) life and his family and stay at their favourite pub: The Winchester. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are hilarious together, with classic scenes and just a fun movie all together. Definitely worth checking out!
