I had no problem with that, as it was for the comedy. I only disliked two parts. The part where they pass the children eating out of a corpse, and the dismemberment. They added nothing to the film, and seemed to be there just for the sake of being disgusting.

I just got the DVD and watched it, now I'm listening to the cast commentary. You know what?
It is brilliant! I love it! This is one of the first movies in a while where I actually like the hero!
I had to feel sorry for Shaun's mum and Ed at the end, though...
But overall:

I dug this film, so many funny moments and zombie movie cliches, and the britishness of it at times was just overwhelmingly great. I'm not making any racist comments or implying that English people are more humorous than anyone else but I'm just saying the way some of the lines were delivered was pure magic and the Brittishness certainly added to the overall flavor.

Care to define 'Britishness' HofMarn? The government over here would love to know. Always strikes me that we use it as a cover up for our lack of budget\special effects.
SOTD struck me as an elongated episode of spaced, (same writers and all, lots of reference humour) one of the great heights of british comedy in the last few years.

"British" comedies generally have a different feel to them. They're less in your face then the American counterparts, and tend to let the watcher get the joke themselves without having it forced upon them.

Spaced is a british sit-com starring Simon Pegg, and co-written by Edgar Wright. (of SOTD fame), lots of pop culture humour. If you liked SOTD i'd advise you to pick up the DVD if you can. One of the best things to appear on TV in a long time, but sadly it seems to have fallen victim to the curse of 2 series.
Barend, please use the term 'British' instead of 'English', some of us are quite sensative about the issue.

I watched Shaun of the Dead yesterday. Quite funny in places. The death of the Mom brought it down though.

I want to point out something I heard in the commentary: the guy being eaten was Snake-hips, the guy from the bar that Ed said was a bigamist and always surrounded by women. It was apparently supposed to be a group of girls or women eating him.
At least, I think that's what they said.

Ahh, that would explain that. I remember asking my friend what happend to him after the film finished, seeing as they went to the trouble of introducing him. Still rather morbid though, but perhaps I'm too squeamish. Never been a fan of blood for bloods sake.
