I've not yet heard of this one but then I'm in the U.S.
If I have the chance to see this in theaters I'm going for sure though. This movie looks great! Also: I'm going to be using that Mel Brooks quote.

I loved this film and need to get a bloody big copy of it because the creators deserve it. Oh and the Honey Monster's been cool for ages. I respect him more than David Cameron and his Right wing party that is going too far. Fox hunting with dogs hurts the fox immensely, so STOP DOING IT!
And Crow bomb, since everyone loves that, and the "Falling over BOOM!"
Calumon: He does have big hands!

definitely going to see it, and the yanks dont have the honey monster? i thought it was a nestle brand.
but it may loose some of it shock humour, there are a surprising amount of Danish sketches, stand up acts and cartoon strips about terrorists, so many that i almost forgot that A: its still a taboo in some countries and B: that they weren't just comedy material.
the Muhammed drawings where comedy gold for us back in the days.

Whoo. I liked what you said about Hogan's Heros not being made during WWII Bob. I'm an American that would love to have my terrorist fear boil lanced by some fearless comedic surgery, but the surgeons better use some sharp ass scalpels. This might be one I go see myself first before I suggest it to anyone else. Looks reall funny, but I really hope it never apologizes for what it's about. That might devalue it. That red, white, and blue sheild scares me. I don't think a sniper would have a hard time finding it...please don't suck Captain.
Bob. I'm sorry but you clearly have no clue what the being 'smug' means. The commedians you mention ARE smug. Being smug doesnt mean your not funny or even not RIGHT it means you just come across as overlly full of yourself to the point where you are clearly disdainful of anyone your talking to.
You yourself are frankly smug and the key point that makes you so is that you assume anyone who disagrees with you 'isnt smart enough to understand what your saying and that's why they disagree'. It's the fact that you don't entertain the fact that you could be wrong that makes it smugness and not just 'wit'.
In fact I think that's what your missing. Witty isn't the same as Smug.
All that said other than that little point that wound me up somewhat, I really like the sound of the movie from your review and will hopefully watch it if it comes to my local cinema.

I watched it on the plane home from China. It wasn't too amazing.GamesB2 said:Well it sounds awesome
I thought the Honey Monster was American. Oh well.Proverbial Jon said:
Awesome review. Annoyed I missed this when it was on in the UK. Will have to get the DVD. And if this gets any sort of controversial feedback from the US because of its subject matter then I will know that free speech is dead in America.
In America, all food is monstrous. It never misses either. (I'm American. I know what I'm talking about, dear people across the pond.)Proverbial Jon said:
Finally, a film I was able to see months before the rest of the world! It's not the best thing Chris Morris has made - On The Hour, The Day Today and Brass Eye are peerless and Nathan Barley (co-written with Yahtzee's main inspiration, Charlie Brooker) is better - but that's not saying much at all! Go see it!
