There comes a time in everyone's life when you realize a fundamental truth: pub crawls are a bad idea. Well, as an idea on paper, they're fine, but in practice it's just a crapshoot exercise that inevitably ends with someone going to the hospital for stupidity-related injury.
That said, pub crawls are indeed fun to watch from a safe distance when they're pre-recorded by famous actors across the pond.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are back together directed by Edgar Wright for the third film in the so-called "Cornetto" trilogy that also includes Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
Immediately it's clear this is a Wright production with the focus on pubs and running. Also present is the comedic comfort zone that these three have created. Unlike the previous two films however, this film is better not knowing a single thing about the plot. So you've been warned not to read further if that's the way you like to roll.
This time around, Pegg is the wild man who never grew up and 20 years later is looking to relive his high school grad attempt to do a pub crawl in his town of 12 pubs. With him are his four high school buddies (Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Frost) who are in various stages of reluctantly willing to join the reunion tour.
What starts as a buddy-is-living-in-the-past comedy ends up in directions you simply can't see coming and that makes it all the more enjoyable.
The Worlds End is now available on DVD and therefore everywhere online enjoy.
