FROM WHERE I SIT: THERES STUPID FUNNY AND DUMB FUNNY

SOUTH PARK is Stupid funny, THE THREE STOOGES are Stupid funny, That show JACK-ASS is/was Stupid funny. Stupid funny is NOT funny. It's contrived, ignorant of the natural laws of humor, and generally created out of lethargy of new ideas.

MONTY PYTHON is Dumb Funny. Laurel and Hardy were Dumb Funny, SHAUN OF THE DEAD is Dumb funny. Dumb-funny IS funny. It's inventive, thoughtful, and concentrates on its target of humor with dutiful precision and intelligence that you ride with it out of sheer fascination to see where its logic is going to go next.

Of course, we're the States and we get most of the good stuff British Show Biz has to offer. Simon Pegg apparently is the new offering for the Brits to show us new ways how to laugh. And thank God for that. This guy wrote and stars in this new film opening this week and, together with his writing partner and director, Edgar Wright, shows us that you can make a funny movie about zombies and still not resort to inane stereotypes and kids bitching about high school and parents.

Pegg plays Shaun, a 29 yr old assistant manager to a Radio Shack type place whose life is . . well, dead as are the lives and minds of the people around him. So how is he to guess that the brain-dead inhabitants that surround his life have suddenly become zombies when they ALWAYS act that way?

Its this premise that evokes some of the laughs in act one. Act two is his realization and call-to-duty to save those he loves. Accompanied by his pal ED, (Nick Frost), a hip-hop slacker/PeterPan who sees the whole peril as a video game, they both make this story an oft times hilarious and therefore tolerable ride through Dawn of the Dead clichs.

Even though this film was written and directed by smart and acutely inventive comic minds, even the dull-witted will enjoy the horror stuff. Yeah, there are fart jokes but theyre sparse. Yeah theres blood and guts but its not in your face. Yeah there are those tense moments but they dont go on so long that youre saying Just kill them, for Christ sake!

Some will find some of the reality factor a bit out of place in the flow of things. There are tears and moments where reality sinks into the characters lives. But that is what makes this film so dumb funny.
