Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Movie
Released
The repeated walk to the shop is the obvious invitation to look twice: familiar streets become funny because Shaun is watching them much less carefully than we are. Elsewhere, throwaway plans and everyday expressions acquire later meanings. The pleasure is seeing how tightly a scruffy pub-and-flat comedy has been assembled, without losing the warmth between its hopeless friends.
