Tucker And Dale Vs Evil: 75 Out Of 100 Stars

Don't know why I never reviewed this, I think I was planning on re watching it with a friend and we just never got around to it. Anyway, Tucker And Dale Vs Evil is a one note movie that does everything possible with that one note. Fabulous slapstick that they somehow manage to stretch for most of the movies run time. Just when you think they've exhausted every possible silly kill, they throw another one on top of it.

Tyler Labine & Anal Tudyk as the hillbilly leads are pretty damn brilliant in this horror spoof. They play a couple of rednecks out for a weekend in the woods when they happen upon a group of teenagers doing the same. Through a series of misunderstandings and happenstance, each side thinks the other is out to the kill them. What ensues is some 3 Stooges level comedy, if the Stooges were dropped in a Friday The 13th film. It really is fantastic. Throw in Katrina Bowden looking fine as all get out and you've got a winner. It peters out a bit near the end but that's OK, it does what it aims to do and does it beyond all reasonable expectations.
