Shaun of the Dead
I saw Shaun of the Dead last night. It's billed as a romantic comedy with zombies (a Rom Com Zom?) The idea for the film was inspired by an early episode of the Channel Four series Spaced. Shaun and his roommate Ed are slackers, coasting through life. Shaun has a crappy job at an electronics store. Ed has no discernible occupation. They spend most of their time at the pub or playing videogames. They barely notice when the world outside is filled with zombies.
While zombies may not seem to be a good premise for comedy, this film is quite funny. George Romero, creator of the original Undead epic, "Night of the Living Dead", agrees. If you're in the mood for a rom com with some zom, go see it.
