I
say that is about spot-on… I love Simon Pegg in most of his roles and
say that he did as good a job as he could given what he had to work
with. I never read the book on which this movie was based, so I can’t
say how closely it stuck to the point of the book. Pegg was the only
redeeming quality in the movie. Megan Fox played the role of eye-candy
and showed just how poorly she can “Act” playing the role of an
award-winning actress. Personally, she should stick to just looking
sultry and I’ll be happy.
In the end, I didn’t regret wasting my
time with the movie, but I can’t say that I’d recommend going out of
your way to watch it. If you happen across it on television or want to rent it,
then by all means give it a chance… if for nothing else other than
Pegg.
