The first classic movie I saw was "The meaning of life" in 83 and I was 10, loved it. Saw many, many more british movies after. So I think I know what to expect from british movies and their humor.

Yeah the britshness thing doesn't fly... monty python, the goodies etc.. I grew up on british humour.... then blackadder and red dwarf and up to little britain, black books etc today. I'm a brit comedy fan - It just wasn't that funny. One of the only things i found clever in it that didn't involve the flat mate farting was when he first went out the next morning and half slipped in the shop.. just a very understated situational thing. The rest frankly was a bit of a let down after really wanting to see it.. in fact the last 5 minutes were probably the best with what they got the zombies to do afterwards.
I just thought it was a wasted opportunity... it could have been hilarious.. sucks when you're expecting something pretty good and it turns out ot be only average and you start thinking of the ways it could have been better.
