You'll laugh for all the right reasons

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2012)

My son urged me to watch this on Netflix, and I expected yet another "hillbillies chop up the teenagers" schlockfest. I could not have been more wrong. "Tucker and Dale" takes a standard horror-movie convention and absolutely, gleefully rips it to shreds.
T&D are sweet and lovable hillbillies (really!) who become entangled in a series of violent deaths--none of which is their doing. And, much like Candy and Martin in "Planes Trains and Automobiles", everything they do to fix the situation just makes it worse.
The film is graphically gory, but the violence is played for gut-busting comedy. Yes, this sounds terribly contradictory...but it's true. This movie is laugh-out-loud funny. And deliberately so.
Give yourself a treat and watch this.
"He's making her dig her own grave!!!!" Priceless.
