Wildly underrated film. Funny, very quotable, great soundtrack. Pegg and Frost are PERFECT together in this. Jason Bateman's great as well, and Sigourney Weaver puts in an appearance. You'll learn how to cuss like a pro. Should have been in the Cornetto trilogy instead of The World's End.
THAT'S JENGA!

Snow White (Disney 1937) - a critique
A timeless tale, a technically brilliant telling. But the modern lens is brutal: the humour and themes don't hold up. An awful protagonist: a wet hen with a grating voice and no personality, surrounded by little leches. Never walks; minces everywhere waving her arms. Best character: Grumpy. Watch instead: Rammstein.

Paddington V
Michael Bond in the Paddington series of five 'Paddington At Large' is the last one that I have read. This is one where Paddington has a day out with a friend, goes on television, makes a snack, helps out a neighbor the only way that he knows how, and makes Christmas special once again. All the illustrations in this volume as well as the other four volumes were drawn by Peggy Fortnum as pencil sketches of Mr. Paddington Brown of Number 32 Windsor Gardens, London.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.

Fabulous critique!!! Loving it!!!
Oooo, I've never watched this but your review really makes me want to!
I always meant to watch this movie and never did. Maybe I should finally watch it now
Never saw the film but your critique has me intrigued. Hmmm...how did I miss this one? Great job!
I agree with everything in this critique and you're dead right. The World's End was a pooptastic end to such a marvellous trilogy. This would have been the better end. Also...when I read "Critique - Paul" in my notifications, I thought you were just going to take the piss out of me. lol. I am that egocentric, clearly, and paranoid! Lovely Critique. I'd hire you as my personal Critique journalist at the top of a hat!
OMG I forgot about this movie. Yes, very funny. And yes, it was wildly underrated. Thanks for the reminder!
Cant wait to see it, I love Jason Bateman!!!!
Great review, and a hilarious movie.
I agree! A very funny movie. Well done.
LC, nice one! Yet my was Mouth agape when you said that about World’s End. As I was gonna comment “it’s alright but not as good as World’s End!” In saying that I’ve seen the cornetto trilogy a few times, so “Paul” really does deserve a rewatch!! 😊
I absolutely agree! This movie is so much better than World's End and should have taken its place in the Cornetto trilogy! My favourite part of this movie is the bit where Paul is in the warehouse from Raiders talking to - I think it was Spielberg?
