Director: Edgar Wright
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
The capper to the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy - the comedic genre sendups from director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost which also includes Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz - may not be as laugh out loud funny as previous installments, but it makes up for that with its richer (and deeper) thematic roots. A film that plays on the necessity of growing up, the disappointment of life not meeting expectations, and the reality of friendships fading with time, The World's End is one of the better films about friendships between men, with nice little asides about the problems of an increasingly homogenized of culture. And robots. Murderous, alien robots.
