still brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2004)

I could have sworn I wrote a comment here when the film was out in the cinema, but I can't find it, so I guess I didn't.
I'm a massive fan of Spaced, so when I first heard about this film, I was spectacularly excited, and literally bounced in my seat every time I saw a trailer!
So with such high expectations, it was quite a feat for the film not to let me down in the slightest - quite the opposite, it was instantly one of my favourite ever films!
I've never seen a zombie film, so you don't necessarily need to get the references to enjoy it. Its just brilliantly funny.
Simon Pegg and Dylan Moran are 2 of my absolute favourite actors, so obviously I loved their performances, and Lucy Davis was fab as ever. But basically everyone is right on top of their form - not a single false note.
Then of course there was the long wait for the DVD to come out. Once I had it in my hands, I was a little nervous that it wouldn't live up to my memory of just a few months earlier. But I needn't have worried - I watched it twice in a row! And then all the extras.
I simply can't recommend it highly enough, and I'm so excited that so many Americans here are enjoying it too - I so hope it is as big a hit as it deserves to be over there, and shows that some British films are this good!
And I recommend Spaced just as highly!
