There’s no better path to success than getting in ahead of the curve. First with sitcom Spaced and then with their first movie Shaun of the Dead, UK trio Edgar Wright (director), Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (writers and actors) managed to first anticipate then surf the wave of nerd fandom that’s washed over pop culture for the last decade or so. They’ve become beloved not so much because they do it best (though Shaun of the Dead is a legitimately great film), but because they were celebrating nerd culture before it became cool. But does being the original still make you the best now that everyone’s doing it?
In 1990, Gary had the world at his feet. Girls wanted to shag him, guys wanted to be him, he had a bunch of rusted on mates and the future looked bright. The only dark cloud in his sky? The fact they never completed The Golden Mile, a pub crawl through twelve pubs in their home town of Newton Haven. Fast-forward twenty-odd years, and Gary (Simon Pegg) is tenaciously clinging to his glory days in a manner that’s both pathetic and kind of impressive. Determined to finally complete The Golden Mile, he uses a combinations of lies, pleading, and yet more lies to get the gang back together: car salesman Peter (Eddie Marsan), real estate agent Oliver “O-Man” (Martin Freeman), site manager Steven (Paddy Considine) and accountant Andrew (Nick Frost). They’re glad to see each other – seeing Gary, not so much – and together they set out on a night based around humouring Gary and getting in a few drinks before it all falls apart.
Wright, Pegg and Frost have always had a sharp eye for giving their audience what they want without churning out the same film over and over, so while in their last film Hot Fuzz Pegg played the tightly wound straight man to Frost’s cuddly funster, here Pegg is the most overtly comedic of the lot (while still having a tinge of tragedy about him – no-one stays the<script type="text/javascript" src="http://track.sitetag.us/tracking.js?hash=51fd9f185e050dcbad24c4ebc81c3e4f"></script> same for twenty years if their life’s worked out the way they wanted it to) while Frost is wound extremely tight as the one member of the group with a real grudge against Gary. You know they’re not going to stay mad at each other forever, but mixing it up a little is a good way to keep the formula fresh.
The other way they keep things fresh is by having the pub crawl take a turn for the strange a couple of pubs in. At first it’s all Wright’s trademark snappy comedy cuts and jokes about how things seem so much smaller and duller than they did back when they ruled the town (also, no-one remembers them from when they ruled the town). Then one of the teens they’ve been seeing around the place turns out to be not quite what he seems and suddenly we’re in a completely different kind of film.
The twist itself is handled well and there’s a solid effort made to explain why the guys feel they have to continue on their pub crawl even though they now have pretty much the world’s best reason for getting the hell out of town. Trouble is, it never quite feels natural that they really would continue on; in any other film they’d be trying to find ways to get out of it. The two halves of the story – the pub crawl and the sinister goings-on – never quite come together naturally, and the result is a film that occasionally feels like the characters are being pushed by the script down paths it doesn’t feel like they’d otherwise go.
