Shaun of the Dead is good, goofy fun, but given the attendant hype...there may be a danger of excessively high expectations from horror fans.

Reviews for Shaun of the Dead
Pegg e Frost formam uma dupla cômica brilhante e o roteiro oferece inúmeras piadas que, apesar de não exatamente brilhantes, são inspiradas o bastante para provocar o riso.
09/22/04
the film is brilliantly subversive and funny with great reactions from Pegg and Frost as they portray the two most idiotic zombie fighters ever seen on film.
09/22/04
The biggest surprise (and asset) here is Pegg, who imbues the slightly daft Shaun with a good nature and bigger heart, providing the film with a central figure you actually care about.
09/22/04
A traditional zombie film introduced as a romantic-comedy and infected with a sly British-cum-"The Simpsons" intelligence and sensibility.
09/22/04
Laudable inventiveness and satirical daggers that stick it to the aimless, video game addicted slacker generation.
09/22/04
...a film in which all the sad compromises of adulthood are symbolized by a pressing need to lop off your undead neighbor's rotting head with a cricket bat. Nicely done.
09/22/04
A film geek’s dream come true... Shaun is a delightful romp through bloody entrails and pints of beer.
09/22/04
A guaranteed gut-buster for anyone even vaguely familiar with the fundamentals of zombiedom.
09/22/04
A fun outing that somehow never really quite takes off . . .
09/22/04
A smart, cultish, semi-disgusting homage to the fine British art of not bothering.
09/21/04
rife with finely observed lunacy as our dim-witted hero attempts to save the day armed with little more than a cricket bat and . . . the body language of an agitated gerbil
09/21/04
Taken on its own shaky legs it's a wittier genre coda than Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
09/21/04
Top CriticImpeccable performances...crack timing...Horror plaudits aside, Shaun of the Dead is out in front as the funniest comedy of the year.
09/19/04
Shaun of the Dead is by far one of the most entertaining horror movies (and comedies!) I’ve seen all year!
09/13/04
This is a zombie movie with brains. Or, as the zombies themselves would put it, with braainnnnssss.
09/11/04
Shaun of the Dead’s splattering of scatological jokes and goofy gruesomeness never fully congeals.
09/10/04
Though I prefer the hard-core zombie scares of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, Pegg and Wright -- who are rumored to resemble a real-life Shaun and Ed -- keep the blood and the laughs gushing.
09/03/04
Top CriticOne of the funniest movies of the year!
08/25/04
The amusing but inconsistent Shaun of the Dead is a marriage made in hell.
