Tucker & Dale vs Evil is a movie I've cherished for quite a few years now, having seen it shortly after it was released. I've just finished rewatching it for the the nth time now, and I just have to recommend this as great entertainment.
It's a shame this movie isn't more well-known, for it is a perfect exercise in taking a premise and turning it upside down on its head. The movie is smart as well, featuring and exploring the ideas of perception, prejudice and lack of communication, but in a quick and very entertaining way. The acting is top-notch, specially Dale as portrayed by Tyler Labine.
I don't want to get too much into the story, but when the villain(s?) are made clear, it's actually scary, and the ending was honestly quite riveting, with a perfect, sweet last shot that left me more than satisfied - and still laughing as the credits rolled.
Totally recommended if you want a great bonafide comedy that's both smart and a laugh riot.
