Tucker & Dale vs Evil (7/10)

The premise for this movies is so awesome I can't believe it took them until 2011 to make this. In all this horror movies where you get some crazy and bizarre villain ("The Hills Have Eyes, Wrong Turn" or what have you), what if they were nice people. These guys just look evil and every death is the result of some freak accident. Yea I doubt that was ever the case but that's what "Tucker & Dale vs Evil" does. Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine) are kind and goodhearted men. They just happen to look like those crazy/dirty rednecks that torture college kids. Speaking of college kids... yea we got those too. About eight or so of them are going camping and play they typical roles you see in horror movies (hot blonde, the douchebag good looking guy and of course a token black guy). They see Tucker & Dale who come off as lunatics but really just are trying to be friendly. The two buddies are going to fix up a vacation cabin in the woods. One night while the college kids are skinny dipping, Tucker & Dale are nearby fishing. Allison (Mega babe Katrina Bowden) sees them, falls and hits her head. Tucker & Dale try to help her by bandaging the wound at the Cabin and finding her friends in the morning. Well the college kids think they're apart of one of those horror movies and need to stop these two rednecks. Things go hilariously crazy. That's more or less most of the first third of the film. It loses a lot of steam as it progresses despite it's rather short run time. You'll have fun but maybe this should have been a short film. The last 30 minutes drag. However it's still a riot at the beginning so it the pros out do the cons.

7/10
Recommendation: If you like what I described above then hell yes go for it!
