Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

English Version:

I have rarely laughed so much!

Review:
Country bumpkins Tucker and Dale actually just want to spend a cozy weekend in a wooden cabin in the forest. But a bunch of college kids are having a wild party at the lake next door. When Tucker and Dale save the girl Allie from drowning, the other students interpret this as a kidnapping by two psycho killers and attack. This leads to some fatal accidents that decimate the student population. Despite the fight for survival, there is still time to create romantic bonds.

Positive:
"Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" is one of the funniest horror comedies ever. Starting, of course, with the gags, which form a wonderfully absurd and entertaining premise that only movies rarely manage. I absolutely like both main characters, they are played quite well and their chemistry and comedic timing are unbeatable. The dialogue is very funny, the situational comedy is brilliantly implemented, the balance between horror and comedy is outstanding and fortunately the movie hardly takes itself seriously.

Negative:
In the second half, however, the movie takes itself a bit more seriously and distances itself from its clumsiness, which is a mistake as it makes it seem a bit tasteless.

8/10 for 4 stars.

Selten habe ich so viel gelacht!

Review:
Die Landeier Tucker und Dale wollen eigentlich nur ein gemütliches Wochenende in einer Holzhütte im Wald verbringen. Doch am See nebenan macht eine Horde College-Kids wilde Party. Als Tucker und Dale das Mädel Allie vor dem Ertrinken retten, interpretieren die anderen Studenten dies als Entführung durch zwei Psychokiller und blasen zum Angriff. Der führt zu einigen todbringenden Unfällen, die die Schülerschaft dezimiert. Trotz Überlebenskampf bleibt aber Zeit zum Spinnen romantischer Bande.

Positiv:
"Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" ist einer der lustigsten Horror Komödien jemals. Angefangen natürlich bei den Gags, die so eine herrlich absurde und unterhaltsame Prämisse bilden, wie es nur Filme in den allerwenigsten Fällen schaffen. Beide Hauptcharaktere sind mir absolut sympathisch, sie werden auch ziemlich gut gespielt und ihre Chemie sowie auch deren komödiantisches Timing sind unschlagbar. Die Dialoge sind sehr witzig, die Situationskomik ist brilliant umgesetzt, die Balance zwischen Horror und Komödie ist herausragend und glücklicherweise nimmt sich der Film kaum ernst.

Negativ:
In der zweiten Hälfte jedoch nimmt sich der Film ein Stückchen ernster und distanziert sich von seiner Tollpatschigkeit, was ein Fehler ist, da der Film dadurch etwas geschmacklos wirkt.

8/10 für 4 Sterne.
