Setting: England, contemporary
Jon was expecting a broad spoof along the lines of the ‘Naked Gun’ or ‘Scary Movie’ series, but as I tried to explain to him that is not what this film is about. No the creative team behind ‘Shawn of the Dead’ have deeper sensibilities then that. While there is the knowing satyrical element where the creators reference genera conventions, this is secondary to a well constructed plot and likable characters, who are engaged in a storyline that comes at ‘the cop film’ at a good natured and sideways angel (or angle). I look forward to seeing more of this like from the able comedy duo of Pegg and Frost in the future.
