Honestly, I don’t even remember it being that funny. I haven’t gave it a second thought since its release. The power of social media marketing, I guess.
If you’ve never seen Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, I’d encourage you instead to take a look at Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz, both really good movies.
My problem was I watched it expecting Cornetto trilogy and got stoner comedy so didn't enjoy it as much. Going in expecting stoner comedy (when in the mood for it) a few years later increases the enjoyment factor.
Paul versus Baby Driver really illustrates what Nick Frost and Simon Pegg's chemistry bring to a movie versus what Edgar Wright's directing brings to a movie.
And even in combination, the trio only nailed it two out of three times. The World's End is just... okay.
It's not great.
