Do you remember when you first watch “Scary Movie,” and it was generally entertaining? Tucker and Dale vs Evil is like that, but without the suck.
Once in a blue moon there are films that are released that more or less go straight to DVD, but are truthfully among some of the better movies. Tucker and Dale vs Evil is one of those films. Here are five reasons on why this will be a cult classic in no time.
- Alan Tudyk is Tucker, he is also part of another cult classic called Serenity, and is a bad ass.
- It’s actually funny.
- That girl from 30 Rock is in it, Katrina Bowden.
- It wasn’t made by Tyler Perry.
- Even my wife liked it, and she only watches Lifetime movies.
Perhaps these reasons are not appealing to you, and you would rather rely on what critics have to say. The infamous reviews at Rotten Tomatoes also gave the flick an 85% on the Tomatometer, which is awesome considering The Hangover 2 is marked as the top rental right now and only had a 35% rating.
Perhaps it was the budget they had, but Tucker and Dale vs Evil only opened in 30 theaters (in the US) and made a measly $52,843 during the opening weekend. That said it’s likely you’ve missed this gem, but it is definitely worth renting. Also if you don’t feel like forking over the few bucks to rent it and you have a PS3 or Xbox 360 you can still use the VUDU app to get a free rental (that’s what we did).
