Advantages: A great film, good story, acting and funny! Disadvantages: Not really any i can think of!
...The film starts in "The winchester", a local pub. We meet the characters Shaun, Ed, Liz, David and Dianne.
Shaun loses his girlfriend liz, forgets his mum, and is generally having a bad time! He decides to sort his life out, but when a zombie invasion starts, things can only get worse!
Armed with a baseball bat, shaun tries to get to the winchester with his friends to try and survive, and in the mean time try and sort things out.
I found this film highly amusing and funny, with quite some gore to!
The DVD also has lots of special features including commentary, outakes and lots of other things.
The film stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Kate Ashfield, Dylan Moran and Lucy Davis, and directed by Edgar Wright....

Advantages: great zombie horror Disadvantages: not long enough
...Shaun of the dead has got to be the funniest film i have ever seen. starring simon pegg this film goes to the comedy extreme with being an amazing mick take of george a romero's dawn of the dead. they swap the mall for a local pub and the modern guns for a winchester. after his life going to hell he tries to get it back on track and get back together with his girlfriend (the lovely liz). he has to save his mum and his friends by taking them to the place she hates the most (the winchester-local pub). without doubt this is the greatest comedy to ever be made and is worth every penny. personall i have watched it numerous times and i never get bored. pure excellence....
