Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Students of the Little Movie Glossary may find it funny how carefully "Tucker and Dale" works its way through upended cliches.
At its heart, it's really just a one-idea premise stretched out to feature length, but the lovable duo of Tudyk and Labine and an endearing layer of sweetness under all the blood make it a fully enjoyable comedy of (t)errors.
It's time we all toss our nine bucks into the proverbial woodchipper (don't ask me what proverb) and spit out enough money to make Tucker & Dale and other truly deserving, truly funny indie flicks a blazing success.
There's even a message under all the body parts: People are individuals, not just easy regional stereotypes.
