Not by me it isn't.

It's like watching two episodes of Spaced and The Office with its dry characters and irreverent humour, and some Manty Piythaan and slapstick thrown in (the fence-vaulting is a corker) and a zombie theme.

The end seige at the pub was particularly disappointing, devoid of laughs and any real tension.

The film wants us to care about its characters (or are we supposed to be too busy rolling around the floor in mirth?), but this is impossible as we constantly anticipate the next gag or clever parody of the genre.
