The smart take on zombie-comedies always seem to come from the British. Who could resist the droll wit of the working class in Shaun of the Dead? Another entry in the growing popularity of zomedies, Doghouse sets up zany hijinks through the prism of guys with jilted girlfriends, recently divorced middle agers and well, just slackers. It's the weekend, time for all the boys to be boys, throw back pints, and be somebodies.
And yes, looking to get their yas-yas out, they encounter gulp...undead militant feminists! So the boys have to thwack these bio-weaponized undead, like the psycho hairdresser, Gothic bride and other flesh-obsessed bad girls. As visually pleasing as it is, Doghouse really scores with its acerbic, witty characters and sharp-edged satire.
OK, I'll check it out.
