Nick Frost

The World's End - first look review

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost bring their trilogy of comedies celebrating British eccentricity to a funny and satisfying conclusion.

They battled zombies in Shaun of the Dead and fought renegade little Englanders in Hot Fuzz. Now, with their latest film, The World's End, the final instalment in their comic Cornetto Trilogy (so called because the ice creams turn up in each of the films), stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright are facing their toughest challenge yet. We're not going to give much away beyond saying that the film combines the best aspects of the first two movies - the goofy humour, the knockabout violence, the witty observations on English life - and adds a hefty dollop of sci-fi action and an unexpectedly charming, thoughtful air of bittersweet nostalgia.

Following up a cult comedy hit like Shaun Of The Dead was a tough call but co-stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright triumph here. Part two in their 'Cornetto trilogy' (Part three, The World's End, is out in August) casts Pegg as an eager-beaver cop whose over-achievement makes him unpopular with colleagues. Shipped off to a sleepy backwater and teamed with a laid-back bozo (Frost), he is surprised to find village life isn't as innocent as it first seems.

A comedy that gets funnier every time you rewatch it, this brilliantly parodies Hollywood studio action buddy-movies such as Bad Boys. We love that its sole raison d' être was allowing Pegg and Frost to live their movie dream of getting to shoot guns in both hands while leaping in slow motion.
