Hotshot policeman goes rural

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2007)

You had me at "Spaced," clinched the deal with "Sean of the Dead." Did I think you could top yourself. Not really, but I was wrong. You did! Simon Pegg and his colleagues are true comic geniuses. This movie is not only hilariously funny, it has true wit. There's real intelligence in this brilliantly conceived and executed screenplay. It was amply supported by equally fine directing, editing and art direction. I love a good sight gag, and the ones here are priceless. Which brings me to the cast which is so chock full of Britain's finest acting talent that they must agree. Good choice because this is a keeper for sure. {Psst...and Simon Pegg is kinda sexy, n'est ce pas?) My one complaint is that the dialog is so fast-paced that my American ear found it a bit difficult to follow. It's a good excuse to see it again.
