Short review

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2010)

I jumped to see this as a fan of Edgar Wright's other films. It's a sort of hit and miss, but worth the money overall. If you don't like the title, you'll probably hate the movie
The film is funny, good looking and pretty entertaining. Michael Cera is getting tiresome in the same old deadpan-single guy-lonely nerd role. I can't decide if Mary Elizabeth Winstead is good in the movie or, like Scott, we all just love her hipster, goth, punk hair. Kieran Culkin is the best actor in the movie as the gay-stalker roomie.
Despite being inundated by the special effects sequences - it's about 15 minutes too long - a pittance of character development, and the lack of some real heart, this is a good one. For the older crowd, Scott's battles are a reminder of a life you probably didn't want to remember and the best piece of ridiculous nonsense you'll see.
I'd pay to see it for the Vegan Police alone.
