Second viewing required

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2007)

When I realised that this film came from the same team that brought us Shaun of the Dead, I knew I had to see this.. and it didn't disappoint me.
I thought Pegg played his role really well, and he and Frost bounced off each other perfectly. The film had some great actors in it, and I also was impressed with the cameos from Nighy among others.
The film made me laugh a lot, although perhaps there were not so many laugh out loud gags as other Brit comedies I've seen. And dare I say it.... I didn't think it was as good as Shaun of the Dead. I do however think it is well worth watching, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this film needs a second viewing to catch all the missed gags from the first time round (there were that many - you hadn't finished laughing at the last one to catch the next properly!) All in all, if you like Brit comedies, this is well worth a watch.
