Storyline

- TriviaThe opening scenes on the road were shot during a thunderstorm.
- GoofsWhen Tucker prepares the nail gun for Dale to use as a diversion, the air hose falls out just before the shot ends.
- Crazy creditsSPOILERS: In the opening scene, just before the opening credits, the "found footage" of the female reporter and her cameraman are the same reporting team that is shown at the end of the film reporting from the crime scene on the TV in Tucker's hospital room. The figure who attacks them out of the darkness is obviously Chad, who like all classic teen slasher villains has come back to life after seemingly being killed by the end of the movie and possibly setting up for a sequel.

Featured review
Imagine a horror movie where all of the young kids who serve as the film's victims die gruesome deaths but where you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying the killings because the kids are the aggressors and are either too stupid or too evil to live anyway. That's what you have with "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil," a very funny horror comedy that upends the psychotic-hillbilly motif that's played so straight in so many other movies by having the hillbillies be sweet, lovable guys who don't understand why a bunch of preppy college kids are attacking them.
Not only is the movie funny, but it's surprisingly sweet and smart, with two terrific performances at its center and some clever writing throughout that prevents what could have been a one-note joke from imploding.
And I'm going to start including "frat bitch" as part of my standard vocabulary.
Grade: A
