The most fun I've had in the cinema EVER

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2007)

I went to see this film on the back of all the hype. Friends had seen it and said it was funny and there was so much built-up about it that I presumed it was going to be a huge disappointment. I was expecting the script to be trying too hard for laughs and lots of cliché slapstick and double-entendres that you usually get from a Brit comedy. Plus, I thought Shaun of the Dead was good but not great so I wasn't expecting to be blown away quite as much as I was.
I'm glad to say that these worries were laid to rest and it's probably the most entertaining movie I've ever sat through in the cinema. It was witty but fresh and original. It had *proper* action scenes that usually belong in a Hollywood action film, not in a Brit comedy/wannabe action film. And most importantly, the plot was well written, the dialogue sharp and clever and the acting top-notch from some well-known faces.
Pegg and Wright are genius!
