The phrase may be 'It's only bolognese' rather than 'polonaise'; a reference to spaghetti sauce rather than the Polish dance.

It wasn't Pegg who yelled that line about the polonaise, it was one of the Andy's.... You're really reaching to bad mouth this film. I'm utterly confused as to why your review had the word 'zombie' in it at all, much less a description of anything seen on screen...

There were no zombies, no one came back from the dead, no acts of cannibalism. The one character you could have considered 'zombie-esque' was a brainless simpleton more in the vein of Frankenstein than a zombie.

It seems as though you have something personal against this film, it's sense of humor, or it's creators.

Get over it.

Why are you reading so much into this movie?
The only way you will find 'inside jokes' (cranberry juice from Departed? I'm sorry, did Leo 'invent' the act of drinking cranberry juice at a bar? Did you ever take into account the reason 'Sargeant Angel' was drinking cranberry juice was because IT IS GOOD FOR HIM?), is if you DIG AND DIG AND DIG for them. And yes, it is 'bolognese' not 'polonaise'.

The reviewer seems to just be trying to find reasons to hate this movie, and I'd say, he failed.. MISERABLY.

Your articulation doesn't match your mindless opinion. This movie was genius. The fact you missed that shows.... You may not be one.

Just looking to be the one 'true voice' in the crowd or what? I doubt you even watched the movie, as you completely ignored mentioning the films highest contributors, Bad Boys II and Point Break, and instead mentioned George Romero and the 'Dead' movies, which is something that only requires seeing the title of 'Shaun of the Dead' to make that connection. Really, I never listen to reviewers, but you might as well write your next tirade on the horrors of such terrible films as the Godfather Pt 2, Dr. Strangelove, and Casablanca.
