The cast are game and likable, the jokes quickfire enough to frequently hit, it's crammed with pop culture references, and there's even some amusing gore - and somehow it all fits together.
This is one I'd actually recommend seeking out the US (region free) blu for, as it was only released on DVD in the UK. It certainly entertained the OH and I tonight. |
I found this a very difficult film to review & rate... it simply defies genre.
I'd definitely recommend watching it, though - it's on Lovefilm instant streaming for anyone who may be interested.
Here's my brief
review (that isn't really much of a review!)
Despite watching it a while ago, I still think about it from time to time, and definitely feel the need to re-watch it.
