You can try it, if it won't work, it just won't work. Over the past few years DVD players have been getting a bit more "universal" My DVD player can play a region 2 and I am in region 1. If it doesn't work, however, you can usually play it in your computer. I have only had one problem with DVDs/CDs from a different region, but it is a video CD, so it is probably not going to work (not that I am worried since it only cost $1.80 converted).

Some DVD players will let you change the region on your DVD player a certain amount of times but not infinitely. However, you can find certain DVD players that can be configured to be region-free with a little work. It's possible that your player won't let you change the region (if it's not hidden in a menu somewhere, you're out of luck), and you'll have to buy one that can. Sorry about your luck if that's the case.

region codes are simply a copyright management tool. A zero code means that there is no copyright imbeded by the manufacturer. but there are 3 major video system and a number of variants that are mutually incompatible, so having a region zero does not mean the movie will play in your DVD player. for example your player is probably PAL, being in the UK. but many region zero discs are recorded in NTSC for the north american market. so in that case, no your player won't play it.
