Fantastic movie indeed. Very silly sci-fi movie with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg on a road trip in the US and finding an alien.

Some good cameos and fantastic use of other sci-fi movie music, lines etc, well worth the time to watch. If you've liked Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, you'll like this too.

Great recommendation Paul is a great fun film - I really enjoy watching Simon Peg - he has a great on screen persona. Did you see Run Fat boy Run?

Yeah, liked that too (aside from the love story angle of it - made me puke a little!).

Now going through the rest of his stuff to see if there's anything else worth watching.

Surprisingly good movie. Was expecting it to be full of bad taste fart type jokes (yeah there were a few) and short on story line but it really wasn't.

There were a number of laugh out loud funny moments in this movie. It's worth checking out.

We all loved this movie (even the 10yo despite that stupid rating it got here)...some really funny moments.
