Listen up, screwheads

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2016)

I'll say first off that this is an uneven movie, meaning that there are some great high points, and then some dips into long, inexplicable sequences that don't seem to match with the rest. The movie follows Ash, a hilariously flawed character, fumbling his way through a fish out of water story. He's sent back into medieval times and has to help some knights defeat an evil undead army. Granted, he basically unleashes the threat himself and tries his best to slip away without cleaning up his own mess, but that's Ash 101. He makes time to romance the women, of course, and if they beg him to stay, he lets them know all those promises he made were "just pillow talk, baby." Lots of great lines and a sense of fun all the way through. I don't think I would call the humor ironic, but it's not entirely straightforward either. I'm glad they made the TV series, but I'm still hoping for another movie.
