Hello everybody who likes to read excellent reviews! well done to you. From the opening credits to the end scene, this film is one of my all time favourite comedies. It is some of Edgar Wright's finest work, it is almost certainly some of Micheal Cera's finest moments, and it really is a change of style to the gross out comedies that seem to have inflicted cinema and TV screens over the past few years. I am not going to bore you with going through the plot, as nobody reads reviews for that, they read them to canvas the viewing audience's opinion. Instead i will merely say this to you.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE ONE OF THE BEST FILMS OF ALL TIME, WATCH THIS.
Wow that was a bit much. Anyway, if you are still reading this and haven't been scared off by the angry text i previously displayed, then let me talk you through why you should see this, or more to the point, why I saw this.
I missed this whilst it was at the cinema, and wasn't to keen from the reviews i had heard from it. I expected it to be another let down like most comics that have been converted into films (apart from Sin City, love that film.) A few weeks after it had been showing on Sky, my girlfriend at the time said that we should watch this film. As we had just began to start dating, everything was fresh and exciting, and as we could barely keep our hands off each other, this film blended into the background at first. But as i moved my now ex girlfriend aside to focus fully on the film (ohhh maybe thats why i am now single?) i wish i hadn't of wasted all that time at the beginning by heavy petting (yep, definitely why i am now single!)
This film is hilarious, in every way a film can be. Excellent fast pacing, with some truly great performances along the way. Micheal Cera is at his best, but also the one liners from Alison Pill (who plays drummer of Sex Bob-omb Kim) are pure comedy gold. Also, the performance of Scott's roommate Wallace (played by Keiran Culkin) is one to watch out for.
This film should be watched by everyone on the planet, a pure work of art from everyone involved!
