Me and My Mates vs. The Zombie Apocalypse

I don't get why this film has as many good reviews on here both from users and critics.

I didn't find it particularly funny nor horrific. The acting was not that good either.

I keep getting suckered in by Zombie films and regretting it...

Still at least it's not found footage...Only give this a go cheap or on TV etc...

When I saw this DVD for sale I was hoping for a worthy zombie comedy along the lines of Shaun of the Dead but while there are good comedy moments, most of the humour failed to hit the mark. The plot was a simple one: a group of mates are holed up in a telephone exchange while the zombies are surrounding the building. The banter keeps flowing with the characters discussing the usual Aussie subjects of cricket and beer. In typical Aussie style, they even managed to include a couple of scantily clad women, one of them topless. Discussing the fate of their friend's wife was a good moment and so was the rooftop firework scene but this latter scene looked too similar to the Roadrunner cartoons. The real let-down was the timing of some of the action: some of the zombies took ages to shamble a few yards but if this was meant to be the joke then it failed. Generally, I like Aussie films, both comedy and drama but not this one.

I see a bunch of negative reviews and I gotta say they're wrong. This movie is hilarious. I don't know what they were expecting but it delivered what I was expecting. Loved it.

This was just God awful. Definitely no Shaun of the Dead. I don't know if there's an Australian humour that doesn't translate, but I had to turn it off after 50 minutes. There honestly wasn't even anything redeemable enough for it to deserve one star.

This film truly sucks. It's not even worth watching for free. Don't do it to yourself.

The script is mind-numbingly dull. It's 95% talking with some very average jokes occasionally and about 10 zombies. The plot is non-existant. The acting is weak, but the actors didn't have much to work with. The cinematography and direction is basic and uninspiring. At least the sound/dialogue is clear. The zombie makeup is not bad.

They also use paintballs to kill zombies...

I'm all for low budget, but this is not good at all; it's boring and there's way too much dialogue. Even with low budget you can still make a great film. The director and producers chose not to do this. In fact, I think the director didn't actually do anything.

Zombie films are easy prey for low budget, but the filmmakers are just lazy here. Apparently it's a bunch of guys and a token girl hiding in a telephone exchange with zombies outside. Sound like a great premise for a zombie film? No, it really doesn't.

At the time of writing it has a 4.9 rating on IMDB. It doesn't deserve this rating. It deserves a rating of zero. I would've given it at least 1, but it lost that when a zombie picked up a swipe card and immediately went and used it to open a door. Unfortunately 1 is the lowest I can give this total bucket of puss.
