...Shaun of the Dead is one of the most hilarious films I have ever seen. You will be laughing from start to finish. The Plot It is about a man called Shaun who is a nobody with a boring life and a dead end job. He spends most of his life in the pub with his best pal Ed. He has family problems and neglects his girlfriend. This all changes when the dead start coming back to life.
