Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFelicity, Andy's assistant from the start of the film, is named after a young woman from Stockport, called Fliss, who tragically passed away. She was a massive Simon Pegg fan and he had sent her signed pictures at the request of her dad when she was ill. She passed before she could receive them. When Simon Pegg found out, he wrote the character into the movie in her memory.
- GoofsWhen Gary crosses off the 10th pub on the map, the figure of the "modern art" statue can be seen on the map just below the second and third pubs. But since this is the same map he used for the original crawl before The Network arrived, and since the statue is apparently part of The Network, it should not appear on the map. It is also apparent that the statue was not there at the time of the original Golden Mile since they wonder about what it is when they pass it earlier in the night.
- Quotes
Oliver Chamberlain: WTF, Gary. WTF.
Gary King: What the fuck does WTF mean?
Peter Page: [getting out the cubicle] What the fuck?
Gary King: Ooohh yeah!
- Crazy creditsPeople going to see the film at the Broadway Cinema in Letchworth, the location for the outside of The Mermaid, were shown a short clip beforehand featuring Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost, welcoming them to the cinema and hoping they enjoyed watching it from inside one of the filming locations.

Featured review
Gary King (Simon Pegg) gathers up the childhood gang of Andy Knightley (Nick Frost), Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine) and Peter Page (Eddie Marsan) to return home to Newton Haven to complete The Golden Mile. It's a club crawl of 12 pubs that the boys failed back in the old days. Gary is still stuck in the past while the others have moved on and grown up. Gary is bent on drinking the Golden Mile, but the others are getting more sick of him. Then it gets weird. And Oliver's sister Sam (Rosamund Pike) joins the group.
The gang is back with some new friends. The first half has a few laughs but Gary has a patheticness about him. Things get weird. The jokes get funnier. I love the discourse about the meaning of words. The problem later on is that the pub crawl gets stupider and the group loses people. The final confrontation is long winded and not that funny. Also I don't like the epilogue. It doesn't make it funnier and it just extends the ending into a completely different place.
