'The World's End' -- Not required to be a Brit in order to laugh . . .

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This is a pretty funny film. The acting, script, impeccable timing, and stagecraft all come together to make a rather silly plot a pretty good time. Simon Pegg heads a well-known cast in a re-living of Pegg's fantasy of achieving the "Golden Mile" pub crawl which they failed to do in 1990.
Pegg's character, still suffering from arrested development, manages to cajole and push his four settled high school buddies into returning to their hometown to reignite their youth under his boyish leadership. While doing the "mile" they find that things have changed quite a bit and end up struggling to finish it with their lives intact. At the end of the night it seems their way of life has ended.
Because this is Brit humor it might be best for most to wait for the DVD. Surprisingly, the local talkie had quite a matinee crowd.
