    With all the slobbering praise the movie has gotten on Ain't It Cool News, I've been interested in seeing it.

    The slobbering praises are what turned me off at first. I decided to not really look into the movie after that. Today, I noticed the trailer on the quicktime site and I decided to take a look and I enjoyed what I saw.

    Ditto! Most things net fanboys cream over as comedy classics I wind up finding completely devoid of anything amusing: Austin Powers II, Meet The Parents...) I even read a spoiler-laden summary and it sounded pretty unfunny, however the trailer makes it look very promising (and I usually DESPISE trailers).

    Slow-moving zombies do have a lot of potential for comedy, as demonstrated at times in the original Dawn of the Dead.

    I saw this on the plane on a recent trip to London. I thought it was pretty damn funny. Definitely worth a look as an off-the-wall silly, dark comedy.

    I am happy for the zombie movie industry right now. Parody is a sign you've made it big. Oh, and all those millions of dollars 28 days later/dawn of the dean raked in.

    This is still such a great movie. Maybe in my Top 10 all time.
