Paul was cute.
That’s about it. It’s a forgettable and amusing little flick with enough geek references to pander to our usual crowd, but it’s all shallow humor. Anything Simon Pegg and Nick Frost star in together is certainly worth watching if only for their chemistry, but it wasn’t exactly a worthy followup to Hot Fuzz.
Still, the dvd and blu-ray editions are on the way, and you know what that means- bonus features! Also- bloopers where the two are giggling like little children.
Check out this little video of Pegg and Frost talking about their favorite bits. (A fake doc about Adam Shadowchild, Jeffrey Tambor’s asshole of a comic book creator? Hell yes.)
Here’s the full list of features-
