Basically, it’s FRIENDS meets NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a down-on-his-luck T.V Salesman and a recent dumpee who spends all his spare time in a pub with his slobbish but good natured best friend Ed (Nick Frost.) As if life coud not get any worse, there’s a plague that turns people into flesh eating zombies. The films has a great supporting ensemble cast, including Kate Ashfield as Shaun’s girlfriend and Bill Nighy as his dad (excuse me, step-dad,) but it’s Pegg and Frost, with their Laurel-and-Hardy like chemistry on screen that makes this film as funny as it is.
