Painfully funny

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2007)

This is a British comedy so if you are too dumb to understand that kind of humor, I will understand. But besides that fact, let me continue with the Review.
For one, this movie is a very funny satire on action movies that we all enjoy seeing and the script is filled with funny quips that will have you laughing on you stomach (as I said only if you can understand the jokes). It is constantly filled with pop culture references that will make any 70s child laugh.
The director also knows how to put an action sequence together and even put in perfect comic timing. The plot is even well put as Nicholas Angel (the perfect cop played by Simon Pegg) is transferred to the lil' cute town of Sansford for making the London P.D look bad as he does his job a little too well. He is paired up with Danny Butterman and the two make a memorable cop duo.
But of course, as in most action movies, nothing is all kosher, and "accidents" begin to happen that Angel believes to be Murder and of course in this "Perfect" town, no one believes him.
Most people are upset that this is a comedy that runs over 2 hours but I like that because it gives you a little more time to laugh. And we need more of that in comedies. At least funny movies that is. I really had wished Epic Movie was only 15 minutes.
