It finally arrived—and despite all the coverage it was getting, it was only playing at a little art house theater in Santa Monica (although at bigger theaters elsewhere). Don’t know why it wasn’t getting bigger play in my area, but that played havoc with my comic shop + movie + plus late outdoor lunch plans. My life is so hard.
Anyway, great movie! I thought they had occasional wobbles walking that line between reasonable action movie and farce, and the two bits with the church steeples were unexpectedly graphic, given the tone of the rest of it. But it was funny all the way through, and well worth the build up. That’s two in a row for these guys; I can’t wait to see their third. I have it from a reliable source that the next one will include mint Cornetto, and I can’t wait.
