This movie seemed better for women than Shaun of the Dead, which reinforced the women = reasonable & mature, men = incompetent boys & therefore charming trope pretty hard. But the representation of the only significant black character was a problem. Other than that, I hecka recommend this one. Call it a heckamendation. As for people who decry it being instantly compared to Shaun, get real. How many UK zombie movies played for laughs have been internationally distributed in the last ten years?
