Has anyone seen this movie? I heard it's like Napoleon Dynamite meets Dawn of the Dead.

And that it's "hilarious". (typed caps first but I'm getting it down. It's that dern screenwriting formatting getting into my writing styles)

Anyways, any info would be appreciated.

It looks funny.

Yeah, it's something I'd love to see if it wasn't so violent and full of language and stuff it was rated R; I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it seems like exactly my type of humor from the promos.

I must admit I have not yet seen any of the Dawn of the Dead movies, except the 90's remake which was wonderful.

There are three in the series right? Dawn when the dead first come back. In that one there is the initial shock to civilization and panic but eventually people calm down and organize and the military gets into full swing. Then Day of the Dead? I guess the rebound of society wasn't as stable as it first appeared and we start loosing ground. And by the last movie...(Night of the Dead?) we've lost everything but a handful of military fortresses where scientists desperatly are trying to figure a way to stop the dead and save what's left of Humanity.

Is this right? I've only gotten this much from reading the back of the boxes... but it seems like a neat plot!

Please give me more data!

If it's exactly your type of humor, why should the rating matter to you?

Telp, "Night of the Living Dead" is first. Then "Dawn," and then "Day." But you can't really call them connected in any meaningful way.
