'An epic of epic epicness' is another Edger epic experience.

Rating: 8/10 (8 September 2010)

The familiar ingredients in this film are eminent. Love triangles, gay roommate, seven evil exes Whoa. Hold the phone, that doesn't sound like clichéd flop? That's because for the first time, in a very, very long time there is a romcom (with plenty of action, don't worry) which points its radar more to the boys than the girls – for once.
Hapless Scott already has a girlfriend: Knives Chau, but then falls for eccentric haired Ramona Flowers (Cheerleading Death Proofer'). This mushy mess gets even uglier when the infamous boyfriends start to appear – but in a cracking arcade style that will easily make geeks heads explode, though that will unlikely add anymore colour to the screen. If that still isn't enough for you, the screen is burdened with oldie-style Batman film jargon's; everything from 'Whip' to 'Plonk' to the 'Dddddddddd' of a guitar note.
Perfectionist Edgar has clearly exerted all his efforts into making a worthy third outing after Shaun of the Dead (his best) and Hot Fuzz (his newly instated third best after Pilgrim). True the script is barmy, but the wit is still pin-prick sharp and the momentous special effects give a gamers zest under the multitude of colour that isn't just Ramona's hair.
Surprisingly not in 3D and surprisingly/disappointingly lacking a bare minimum of a cameo from Frost and Pegg, but there is so many quotable characters and realistic scenarios in an unrealistic world you'll soon get past it.
