I thought this one was hilarious...watched it twice over the holiday weekend...even the wife liked it. Imagine an English comedy/horror film done by a director who obviously likes Guy Ritchie's film-making style. Great stuff IMO.

    I agree, I saw it in the theaters, it was an absolute riot. Dry British humor gets me every time.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    This movie had some absolutely great parts. When they think the lady is drunk in the backyard, those next 5 minutes are GOLD.

    "What's that?"
    "The Batman Soundtrack"
    "Throw it!"
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
