If you think you're going to see the comedy of the century, as billed, you're SO very wrong. This horror film with gratuitous death scenes it is NOT a comedy. There's a few jokes which incite a few giggles and maybe one good laugh...it's rarely funny and there's WAY too much blood and guts for it to be called a comedy!!
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this film. It takes the mick out of everyone and stereotypes are flying all the way through it, so if you are offended by these petty things, then you should avoid it. If however you are intelligent enough to realise that what they are saying about racism (about how stupid and pointless it is and that every race has its strengths and weaknesses) then you are going to enjoy every second.
Other than that, great performances, funny script, Colin Farrell at his best - highly recommended
