Starring Simon Pegg, Kate Ashfield, Nick Frost, et al
Rated R, 99 minutesI’ve done a lot of good reviews for Top Five. And by that I mean movies that scored well - I don’t profess to even be a decent writer.

Yes, this was a phenomenal movie.

There's absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty giving it full marks. Three other T5Reviewers have given it perfect scores, because it really is that good. I was happy that a movie finally lived up to its trailer, and actually surpassed what I was expecting the movie to be.

You should watch it again with the cast commentary on, it's a good laugh as well.

I was expecting to be the only reviewer of this movie, maybe second at best - what shocked me going through the archives was not only I being number 5, but the fourth to give it a perfect score! Nice vindication for once.

And I do intend to give the extras a look.

Oh yeah, also check out the Plot Holes Extras. It's a very self-aware movie & it does tie up all the loose ends & unexplainables with the extras.

I adore this film. And yes, it totally deserves the title of FILM as opposed to MOVIE.

That third act...GENIOUS!
