The World’s End

Actors:  Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Rosamund Pike, and Eddie Marsan
Rating:  8 out of 10, the latest Simon Pegg/Nick Frost was very British.  Pegg plays the low life this time as he gathers childhood friends, including the young Bilbo Baggins, for a memorable pub crawl back in their hometown which has been inconveniently taken over by robotic aliens led by a retired James Bond. This leads to a hilarious chase towards an apocalyptic finish line. There are so many one line zingers that I know I’m going to see this again just to catch the ones I know I missed.  It also has some interesting things to say about the vanity of lost youth and the importance of friendship, but always very irreverently.   A very funny movie and very British.
 MVP:  Frost overtakes Pegg as the stolid yet dangerous Andy
