Common, 't Deserves a lot more then 5 out of 10.

Probably 8/10 for me. Great, Hillarious. Especially the "[SPOILER - highlight to read]: David getting his stomach ripped open" scene in some gorey way that was tottally hillarious,

I didn't think it was atall funny. Same thing happened to Rhodes in "Day of the Dead", and it was just another cliched, obligatory "homage", with little to offer in the way of originality.

Romance and horror are like oil and water.

Someone care to tell me what "British humor" there was to get? Was it the little swipe at the Queen..calling each other ***** or wankers..err...? Like I said, if the overall comedic "feel" of the movie is the humor one is supposed to grasp, it's piss poor, and totally unfunny.

Nope, just curious, since us "Yanks" seem to be so oblivious to a form of "humour" no one ever bothers explaining.

i really enjoyed this movie. I had no expectations having not seen any fof the promotion stuff, and just happened to stumble apon it in the cinema.
But i am so glad that i did because in my eyes this is the funniest, smartest british movie in a long time. Finally, we've made a movie that is up there with the greats in american cinema.
I cannot rave about this movie enough.
GO SEE!!!!!!

Really enjoyed this film. Very funny. I like the way it's not completely a spoof and that it's also got serious bits too.

Any film with Goblin (i.e. Dawn of the Dead) induced music and taking the 'mick' out of townies, gets a high recommendation in my books.

Im not sure if you can explain British humour any more than you can explain American humour. For me its got more to do with moments that you can relate to and evoke a humorous response. I find some American and some English humour amusing for different reasons, English humour i think is less obvious if you havent lived there and experienced the people (i spent my first 24yrs in London). I wouldnt worry about trying to understand british humour, its not going to suddenly make you laugh out loud when you watch the movie. The bits i found funniest were things that are part of the culture that reminded me about growing up and living in London. It had nothing to do with the Zombie humour really. You either find it funny or you dont. It doesnt really matter either way.

That's because I took the movie for face value, and didn't bother going any deeper, and I should have, because it's an important movie.

I don't think I could benefit from a second viewing of this one. The two elements never mixed, I didn't find anything humorous about it, and the main characters were rather annoying.

I'm pretty set in my opinions when it comes to "comedy".
