Tucker and Dale vs Evil is AWESOME.
Oct. 6th, 2011 07:35 amYesterday I had a convenient movie date with Matt. We went up to the Capitol to see Tucker and Dale vs Evil, a little indie movie starring Alan Tudyk. Now, I'm a huge Alan Tudyk fan, and the fact that he seems to be happy making genre movies once in a while post-Firefly makes me really happy. A comedy about slasher films? Sign me up! On a funny note, Matt did ask me, "now you know this is going to be scary, right? Rated R? Slasher movie?" To which I said, "it's funny! It'll be fine!" Well, we were both right. It is a slasher movie, though non-traditionally so, and there were moment when I couldn't look because I'm a huge wimp.That said, it was a FUNNY, deconstructing sort of slasher movie, told from the point of view of the two hillbillies (although I kinda take offense at that term being applied here).
Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk are wonderful together, and although you cringe every time they do something that is bound to be misunderstood, they're never played for stupidity. Their characters are warm, endearing, capable and supportive of each other, even as they find themselves embroiled with a college girl who seems to fall and hit her head a lot and all her wacked-out friends. There were places in this movie that were laugh out loud funny to me, and while I feel like there was a tiny narrative loose end at the end, my desire to have it stapled into place doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be. I am absolutely buying this on DVD when it comes out, and I would encourage anyone who likes buddy movies, slasher movies, comedies, movies with Alan Tudyk, movies with college kids being kinda dumb, indie movies, or movies in general to go see this. 100% win. :)
