England Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
The third in the trilogy which deconstructs, re-imagines standard film genres; the others were Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. This one too starts as a normal sort of film and then leaps off the rails, carving its own path through our consciousness.
These guys are clever and funny. Laughs abound here. Pegg's character was really obnoxious in this film and hard to take. Here we were watching a group of middle-aged men getting drunk at the behest of an apparent madman. I was just about to shut it off when...bang!...the universe took a tilt. What came next was unexpected and unpredictable. Remarkably enough it turned into a saving-the-earth sci-fi flick. Mucho kudos, guys. Never grow up...
