Easily my favourite film of the Free Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, and I don't think that's every going to change.
Set 20 years after an attempt at an epic pub crawl, the film sees five friends return to their home town with the intention on completing it. However, they are inadvertently burdened with the task of saving mankind. Everytime I rewatch this film I'm reminded of how often I actually reference it, even in just little ways, but beyond it being highly quotable, it's also genuinely hilarious, and it always has me laughing a ton, even if by this point I am able to recite all the lines that make me laugh! It's not just a great film on the surface though, as the more you watch this film the more you'll notice all of the subtle (and not so subtle) foreshadowing, which now that I've noticed it, is something I always love to see again every time I revisit it. I don't just think this is the best film of the trilogy because it's the one I've seen the most or anything like that, but because I think it's the funniest of them all, also holding the most heart (which I'll briefly talk about in a collab on @film_buff_42's account soon!).
We're then also treated too brilliant performances from everyone involved, and I don't just mean the main cast of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, and Paddy Considine, but also the likes of Rosamund Pike and Pierce Brosnan. Oh and Bill Nighy, who I always forget is in this film, just be pleasantly surprised by his voice!
Overall, I genuinely love this film, and just as well as considering it to be my favourite film of the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, I also consider it to be one of my all time favourite comedies. I would undoubtedly recommend watching it, and I guess while I'm at it, the other two films in the trilogy two, as even if they don't quite reach the heights of this film for me, they're still both incredible!
