I enjoyed certain parts of this movie but it's as ridiculous as it sounds. That's cool and all but it's not as funny as it should be. Maybe it's because I'm not British and my humor isn't quite the same. It does have it's moments though such as when the like 83 year old with a walker was running away from the zombie. If you like zombies I guess give it a shot but it's like a much worse Shaun of the Dead.

"Cockneys vs. Zombies" (2012) began with such promise — with cool, funny characters; capable comedic actors; an attempt at a decent story; and dry, witty British dialogue. It looked like it could be a cool unauthorized companion film to "Shaun of the Dead" (2004).Sadly, then, it didn't pan out. The offbeat, character-driven banter gave way to a lot of slapstick that didn't really work for me. And problems with pacing and tension prevented this from being an effective horror film.I'd give this a 4 out of 10. Oh well.I have two questions after this film about British slang, with which I try to stay current. (What can I say? Some great horror movies come out of Britain. I love it when Frank tells the crow in "28 Days Later" to "get out of it.")1) When someone gets mad at another, they call him a … mop-head? Moppet? Muppet? They always say that word so fast.2) If somebody says something stupid, you call them a "plum?"

Very modern zombie horror / comedy with a British twist is actually better than expected, and is in fact quite a bit of fun. It's often genuinely amusing, with an excellent cast playing the material for everything that it's worth. The veterans on hand are the most fun, and funniest; you wouldn't expect to see them in a movie of this kind, and "Cockneys vs Zombies" is all the better for it. Despite the plethora of digital gore - which is very much par for the course these days - there are some ingenious gags. Best of all, this movie does have a heart underneath all of the action and bloody violence.Rasmus Hardiker and Harry Treadaway play Terry and Andy, two young punks who plan a bank robbery so that they can save the retirement home where their grandfather (Alan Ford) and his associates live. But the plans of everybody in London go straight to Hell when some long forgotten tomb is unearthed, and legions of the living dead find plenty of sustenance on hand.The characters are often thoroughly engaging, even trigger happy weapons junkie Mental Mickey (Ashley Thomas). Our two leads are quite likable, and also endearing herself to the audience (or at least this viewer) is their cousin Katy (Michelle Ryan), who's very tough and adaptable. It comes as no surprise that she becomes a zombie fighter par excellence. Ford performs with gusto as the Granddad (just don't let him catch you calling him that). Honor Blackman is wonderful as his friend Peggy.This viewer wouldn't exactly call "Cockneys vs Zombies" a breath of fresh air in this overcrowded zombie sub genre, but it's so lively, well paced, and funny, that it overcomes very familiar plotting.A comic highlight: Hamish (Richard Briers), who uses a walker, attempting to out "run" pursuing zombies.Eight out of 10.

As long as you go in for a simple laugh, you won't be disappointed. A masterpiece this is not, but 90 minutes of entertaining, low-speed Brit zombie humor it is. The acting was decent all around, and Mr. Ford was wonderful as I'd expect. While entertaining, the slow, deliberate pace of the movie and the lack of any major climax left me wanting a bit more. If one were to compare the overall feel to Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels, I'd say CvsZ doesn't come close in terms of pace, climax, ending or satisfaction. I'm glad I watched it and loved the humor but I caution anyone who intends to see it to go in with medium-to-low expectations and you will have a good time. The movie doesn't take itself seriously and you shouldn't either. It's just fun, don't try to get anymore out of it.
