Gary King (Simon Pegg) gathers up the childhood gang of Andy Knightley (Nick Frost), Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine) and Peter Page (Eddie Marsan) to return home to Newton Haven to complete The Golden Mile. It's a club crawl of 12 pubs that the boys failed back in the old days. Gary is still stuck in the past while the others have moved on and grown up. Gary is bent on drinking the Golden Mile, but the others are getting more sick of him. Then it gets weird. And Oliver's sister Sam (Rosamund Pike) joins the group.
The gang is back with some new friends. The first half has a few laughs but Gary has a patheticness about him. Things get weird. The jokes get funnier. I love the discourse about the meaning of words. The problem later on is that the pub crawl gets stupider and the group loses people. The final confrontation is long winded and not that funny. Also I don't like the epilogue. It doesn't make it funnier and it just extends the ending into a completely different place.
