It was definitely a fun movie. The geezers were really funny, the "crew" had an interesting dynamics and each character is really well thought and distinct. No character is like another. I don't see why it got such a low score honestly. And I had declared the female hostage as my waifu. (If you watch it you'll get why) Only one character wasn't really needed nor was it funny. (I'll explain on the "cons")Pros: It's funny most of the times. Cool action scenes. Fun & Distinct characters.Cons: Slow pacing at the beginning. Quite gory, even when they don't need to. The weird chubby robber-guy who effed up his robbery hence getting caught. He added nothing and I found the interactions he had with other characters cringe-worthy.

"Cockneys vs. Zombies" (2012) began with such promise — with cool, funny characters; capable comedic actors; an attempt at a decent story; and dry, witty British dialogue. It looked like it could be a cool unauthorized companion film to "Shaun of the Dead" (2004).Sadly, then, it didn't pan out. The offbeat, character-driven banter gave way to a lot of slapstick that didn't really work for me. And problems with pacing and tension prevented this from being an effective horror film.I'd give this a 4 out of 10. Oh well.I have two questions after this film about British slang, with which I try to stay current. (What can I say? Some great horror movies come out of Britain. I love it when Frank tells the crow in "28 Days Later" to "get out of it.")1) When someone gets mad at another, they call him a … mop-head? Moppet? Muppet? They always say that word so fast.2) If somebody says something stupid, you call them a "plum?"

Americans don't get irony? Sorry, Englanders - so much irony it comes out your arse in a watery rush. This is the anti-comedy. Badly written/directed/shot/edited. And it's drawn out, with zero scares and hahaha laughs. Plenty of good actors. They got Michelle Ryan, so there had to be a long, slow close up on her amazing face. No chance. Really was the weirdest day of her life. Everything else inferior, and comparison to the classic Shaun is stupid. The IMDb reviews for this are perverse. Or maybe they're recruiting for UKIP?

You've seen 'Shaun of the Dead' and most likely almost every other zombie spoof as well if you're now looking up this zombie comedy. Well, I'll tell you that you're havin a bath if you spend more than a film on this, not that I condone half-inching dvds either! It's good, it has so many laugh out loud scenes and hilarious dialogue, and then it has Michelle Ryan, who I quite like.So, Terry and Andy are two brothers planning to rob a bank, with the aid of cousin Katy, nice but dim friend Davey Tuppence and local nutter Mental Mickey, all because the council is allowing the demolition of their granddad's retirement home. When the job goes bad, they're spared being shot by the police, when a sudden zombie outbreak lays waste to London's East End.Banded together with the bank robbing gang and the hostages they've taken, Terry and Andy must find a way to rescue granddad, with the £2 million they stole in tow. That's it in a nutshell and the rest comes down to the silly fun they have taking the gypsy's kiss out of every cockney stereotype in existence.What really sells it for me is Alan Ford as granddad Ray and his fellow retirees defending the nursing home from the undead. Foul mouthed cockney pensioner gangsters are always a bit of a laugh, but when he's backed up by Honor Blackman and Richard Briers, you're up for levels of ridiculousness you never thought you'd witness, and it's worth it.The special effects ain't half bad, I've seen many worse attempts taking themselves way more serious, and I've seen comedies with less laughs. Give it a go, by all means!
