"Tonight, we will be partaking of a liquid - as we wind our way up the golden mile commencing with an inaugural tankard in the first post, then on to the old familiar - the good companion, the trusty servant, the two-headed dog, the mermaid, the beehive, the king's head, and the hole in the wall for a measure of the same. All before the last bittersweet pint in that most fateful, the world's end, leave a light on good lady, although we may return with a twinkle in our eyes, we will be in truth blind - drunk." (Gary King)
"We're going to see this through to the bitter end. Or... lager end." (Gary King)
Oh my. Oh my. Oh my. Choosing to play a drinking game along with The World's End may have been the greatest decision I have made in terms of movies this year. Cheers, Simon Pegg.
Now on the review. The World's End is generally worthless movie that is the best time you could possibly have at the cinema. I loved it. No need for pretensions, it's just good old English silliness in a time of pompous American decadence. Cracker
What is it about English English that makes it so much cooler than god ol' Amerikan? Is it the assumption of literary aptitude? The cadences? The rhyming schemes? The allusions? The metaphors? The clever word play? YES. All of that. We as Americans need to start upping or rhetorical game right now.

Business owners who model each establishment after another in order to maintain brand: Skip it
Drinking currently?: See it
Sad and in need of a good or bad laugh?: See it
On a scale of Liverpool to Liverpuddle, I give The World's end 3.875 out of 5 stars.
