If you haven't yet seen Shaun of the Dead, I recommend it. It had me in stiches through most of the movie. At one point I had to fight to keep from spitting out my coke.
The movie is very watchable and centers more around the failing relationship between the main character and his girlfriend. As our hero tries to win back his girl, the zombies just more or less get in the way.
Okay, while there are zombies, the movie isn't very scary or gory. There is some blood and a lot of foul language, but overall it's just a raucous British comedy. I had expected it to have a lot of cheesy gags like Scary Movie, but was pleasantly suprised that the humor was original and genuine. Sure, they played hommage to the different zombie flicks, but it was subtle and not forced like you would expect from a Leslie Neilson movie.
When it's released, I plan to buy the DVD, and might to see it again in the theater.
