Go away, Lucky. There's nothing for you here!!


Just got back from seeing it, and thought it was a lot of fun. While it's a bit niche (t's not stuffed with action or loads of references, though there are a few), but it's a lot of fun, with some nice gags("You check the sell-by date on those?") and dialogue. The three leads did well, O'Dowd and Wooten's characters being different enough that neither was superflous, and I expected Dean Lennox Kelly to be more of the straightman in this, but he gets to do some funny stuff, partly with the transformation in his character and handled it really well. Farris was good too, but she sorta pops in and out of the story. The time travel and all the overlapping in the plot was well thought out and amusing, and not really hard to follow. It doesn't quite meet the level of the over-compared-to Shaun of the Dead, but it's a great film.

That looks awesome. When's the official release date on it?

MTA: Clarifying - over here in the states. :-)

I don't know if/when it gets a US release.

Saw this movie yesterday, and I've gotta say, I loved it. It was very clever in a "Lucky Hates Time Travel" kinda way, and while some Brit humor misses me, this was spot on, and I found myself laughing quite a bit, especially at the geek humor. I think I might go back and catch it again, just to see if there are bits that I missed (which, I suspect there were, considering the layering effect of some scenes.

I could easily see how this might be compared to Shaun of the Dead, though, and while it doesn't necessarily measure up THAT high, it does a perfectly serviceable job as a comedy.

I assume a screener has floated ala The Wrestler?

[Demko]

Yes, it appears so.
