SHAUN OF THE DEAD

Director: Edgar Wright (Primarily UK TV work)
Starring: Simon Pegg, Kate Ashfield, Nick Frost, Lucy Davis

A vaguely clever British comedy where silly immature Shaun learns to overcome his emotional stasis by killing Zombies, both real and metaphorical. Yes, this is actually what happens in the movie. Maturity through Armageddon. Fairly funny, only occasionally boring. A solid, if unspectacular comic turn aimed at the masses of unmotivated 20-something youths out there.

Standouts: More thematic material than you usually get in stupid comedies.
Blowouts: Not as funny as many stupid comedies.

Grade: B-
