Pegg (in part written by he and Wright) is against type as fun-loving nineties veteran (has original car, cassette tapes etc.); by contrast Nick Frost is successful, highly-strung businessman. Promising story reunites rest of gang (Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan - also against type) for epic twelve pint pub crawl when silly Invasion of the Bodysnatchers idea takes over, cueing some indescribable fights. Groups of five are noticeable, film is as brilliantly put together as always, by Paul Machliss with Bill Pope's footage.
With Pierce Brosnan, Michael Smiley, David Bradley, Rosamund Pike, Steve Oram, Darren Boyd, Rafe Spall.
I enjoyed it more than last time, though would have finished it ten minutes before the end when Rosamund rescues them from title pub.
