He's heavy for half a guy...

Rating: 3/10 (18 December 2011)

Two West Virginian hillbillies, are headed to their "fixer-upper" vacation cabin to drink some beer, do some fishing, and have a good time.
But when they run into a group of preppy college kids who assume from their looks that they must be in-bred, chainsaw wielding killers, Tucker & Dale's vacation takes a turn for the worse.....
It sounds hilarious on paper, two hillbillies getting mistaken for killers, should be a wonderful spin on the horror-comedy genre, but this fails big time.
it's not that the titular characters are not likable, it's the script and the supporting cast that bring the movie down.
It's your predictable band of teens that are the target here, and I know it's supposed to be ironic 'n all, but a little change on the victims wouldn't hurt a little would it? The jist of the film is this...Someone dies, Tucker or Dale are near by, they do a silly look, and repeat and repeat and repeat.
There is a sub-plot involving the confidence to ask someone out and first impression, but it's too bloody boring in the end to care about.
A real let down.
