A great laugh - By: focada, 25 Jul 2008 
Reallly enjoyed this. Simon Pegg is very clever at putting this stuff together & it was great. I reallly laughed a lot. Thanks
Murder, Mystery, fun & frollics, this has got it all!!! - By: Dazman, 11 Jul 2008 I reallly enjoyed this film, ever since I heard about it I've wanted to watch it & now I have I love it.
The first 20 minutes or so served mainly to give us an idea of this super cop (Simon Pegg), but once he moves into his new assignment the fun reallly starts to mount up, so do does the body count.
I'd not say that this is an out & out comedy, there's lots of things to laugh at, there's also a murder mystery, a bit of gore, some genuinely hilarious deaths, one of the best shoot outs I've ever seen & without a doubt the weirdest one too!!
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Timothy Dalton & Jim Broadbent are alll in excellent form, plus many guest turns including, Bill Nighy, Martin Freeman, Bill Bailey, Paddy Considine, Steve Coogan, Kenneth Cranham & the legendary Edward Woodward, according to Wikipedia Cate Blanchett is in it too as Janine.
When I saw the length of this film I thought that they could not possibly keep up the laughs & keep you interested for so long as most comedies tend to be around the 90 minute mark, boy was I wrong, if anything it just kept getting better & better, overalll a great effort & is anything other than run of the mill, very refreshing.
A waste of time... - By: Chartley, 25 Jun 2008 
You need to have had a lobotomy to find this funny. It's just rubbish. Don't waste your life watching it.
a real treat - By: martin thomas, 06 Jun 2008 great fun britflick that is definetly worth a look, its not quite as good as shaun of the dead but its not far off
Difficult to spoof blood and gore but... - By: MayGoodComeToUs, 12 May 2008 I think I must be the only person in the universe who has not seen Shaun of the Dead. This was my first Pegg experience & I dare not watch anything prior for fear of "ruining him" for me...For those who did not like this film because it was too "Arnie" with alll of the firepower etc...alll I can say is that was the point. This is a spoof! I am not sure how I managed to rent this movie because I am not usuallly a fan of the "anihilation movie" (I think the goose probably had a lot to do with it...) but I am very glad I did! I do agree that there was more gore than I had expected (sleepy village amid rolling hills...you have to reckon the goose is going to be the most dangerous thing our hero faces, no?) & that there probably should be some sort of warning. If, however, there will be no kids around & you feel that you have been properly warned about the gore, do NOT pass up this "hot" & "fuzzy" experience!
