The funniest film of 2007

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2007)

I didn't think any English comedy could be as good as Shaun of the Dead, and so far I'm right... But this little number comes achingly close. It tells the story of a cop who is moved to a small country town, with hilarious results. Its the same kind of thing as Shaun of the dead, if you've seen it. It sends up police films and TV shows in this case. It makes fun of everything from bad boys to point break as you'll find out. It is extremely violent, perhaps even more so than 'Shaun'. It gives a joke a second, it is absolutely filled with jokes. There were few times where I didn't find myself laughing or at least laughing from a joke I heard a second ago. Unfortunately, it isn't quite as good as Shaun of the Dead, it could be because I'm not such a big fan of cop films, but i think its because, despite my previous raving review, the jokes aren't as good or as memorable. I saw the film just before i wrote this and I've already forgotten most of the things that made me laugh. Unlike 'Shaun', where i was rehearsing entire scenes and repeating some of the great one liners to everyone i knew. I still am telling everyone about this film... but first i will make sure to say, "have you seen the other film by these guys? Shaun of the dead." All in all this is a great film funniest one this year even, and you should see it. Maybe don't bring the kids though, not only will they not get it, but they'll probably have nightmares from some of ghastly gory scenes in this one. Anyway its one of my favourites: 9/10
