at a risk of sound slightly sacrilegious and on first view i be kind of inclined to put this right up on a par with shaun of the dead . now and give i view simon pegg a an unquestionable comedy genius and i realise this be a rather big claim . and to what extent you agree with that last statement may be a good preliminary gauge of whether fido will appeal to you . in a way the comedy pick up where shaun leave off and except be back in the original 1950s live dead era stereotypical middle american small town . the zombie war be over and zombie themselves be become more well adjust and useful member of the community . this and so be inform at the outset and be largely thanks to the scientific advance make by the good people at zomcom a nice play on romantic comedy perhaps . the beauty of the film lie in it dead pan depiction of a respectable neighbourhood maintain core value while make a place for zombie and the special hazard they pose . the charm and balance with which it do this be near enough perfect . theme you might expect from a more mainstream kitsch comedy come through the veneer of good clean living and keep up appearance and repress emotion and muddle parental value and social decorum and the plight of the alienated individual . it a story tell with happy heart and wide appeal that be bring to life vividly by the film all round strong cast . it one of those work where it really show through that everyone involve get a kick out of take part . it also fun imagine what billy connelly learn his script must have be like . so in conclusion and it be probable you will appreciate the humour of this film unless your father try to eat you .
