Dark English Comedy that defies definition

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2010)

What is it with the English, and their ability to make the weirdest movies yet somehow pull it off? I rented this expecting a light entertaining funny movie (the title, HELLO!!! It sounds like a porno!) I'm expecting a British version of 'Observe and Report' which is funny, because THAT movie got all weird and dark about 3/4 of the way through it too, but at least the first hour was full of hilarious comedy! This movie is NOT that funny! Or do I just not get it? Instead I am treated to a dark, strange, 'comedy'?!? with over-the-top gratuitous violence, broken up by dead boring dialogue and dry dry desert omg dry British humor. I was not aware that 'from the director of Shawn of the Dead' meant 'expect ultra-violence, weird quirky humor, bizarre plot twists, etc as this is all this guy is capable of' Much like Shawn of the Dead, this movie starts out with good intentions, hits us hard with some VERY DRY British wit that nearly has you putting in a ten minute bathroom visit and tostitos prep break early to slog through it.
Then suddenly your in a graffic slasher movie, and people's heads are turning up on roads and church steeples are landing on top of people and some guy from Scream is running around with a frikken SCYTHE for goddsakes! Then the movie finishes with crazy over the top nutso plot that makes you wonder if they suddenly realized they were massively under budget and better spend the lot NOW. Let's blow up some stuff and open up with machine guns, hey? I'm left shaking my head, puzzling, not really sure what I watched....
Despite all this I am giving it a high rating, because I think I need to watch this five more times, and I'm worried you guyz will not think I'm kewl if I don't, just because I'm stoopid and just don't get it...
Pros: Dry British humor (if you like that stuff), super cheesy over-the-top violence (if you like that stuff) Cons: Dry British humor (if you like that stuff), super cheesy over-the-top violence (if you like that stuff) Movie takes forever to get going then explodes like a Mexican salsa IED all over your face and groin.
