'Spaced': The beginning of 'The World's End'?

Having been one of the 'chosen ones' to have been able to see a pre-screening of the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg film, The World's End, my mind immediately began to wander (no comments, please) as I left the cinema to just how much I love the earlier Channel 4 comedy series, Spaced.

World's End fails to beat Hot Fuzz at the box office

The sci-fi thriller starring Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman and Nick Frost suffers in the summer heat during opening weekend, taking just £2.1m compared to its predecessor's £5.9m.

Susanna Lazarus, Radio Times, 22nd July 2013

If Paul, the last Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movie, was a self-indulgent journey into the outer realms of nerdiness, their latest collaboration is aimed squarely at those without an intimate knowledge of the Star Wars movies.

A crowd pleaser, this is a sci-fi comedy for everyone. Twenty years after a teenage pub crawl through their hometown, Pegg rounds up his old buddies (Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan) for a re-run.

But while reminiscing, they learn that the place has a severe case of the Stepfords.

The film contains plenty that men approaching middle age will relate to and the laughs never dry up with Pierce Brosnan, who plays one of their former teachers, an absolute hoot.

Pegg & Frost's new film is a very fun night out

For all its flaws, The World's End is fun. It's not as appealing as Shaun Of The Dead, but I preferred it to Hot Fuzz.

Pegg, Frost and Wright go out with a bang

There are laugh-out-loud moments as Pegg and his musketeers try to make a stand while totally legless, but it's mostly just wryly amusing.
