It was so well written, beautifully directed. It helps if you are a bit of a film nerd because of the sheer volume of references but it all makes sense and is enjoyable even if you don't get the references.
The cast and crew themselves have said that they wanted to distance themselves from the current trend of situaton comedy (which was attractive 20 somethings shagging each other pretty much) and they definitely succeeded in making something a little more original, a little more challengng.
If you dont like Shaun of the Dead then it might not be for you (that film was actually born out of an episode of Spaced) but i would definitely gve it a go sometime. It could even be on 4oD.
