Review of Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer

You might think with my description title of "Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer" I thought the movie was a boring, stupid flick. Well actually you'd be wrong. While it is a little slow in developing, the end game is quite enjoyable. It's a tongue-in-cheek horror/comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's not politically correct either so that's good. I get sick of viewers who complain that certain scenes "offend" them! Ha! Then don't watch these kind of movies! I liked Robert Englund as the nice professor at first and then the hideous but comical mutated Jabba from Hell. The Trevor guy playing "Jack" did a pretty good job acting like a run-of-the-mill good ol' boy plumber with serious anger issues from his childhood. However I kind of wish the directors had given him more of a southern redneck dialect sort of like Larry the Cable Guy (even though he's from Nebraska). Jack's two blonde female interests were fun even though I'm not sure why he and Eve ever began a relationship since they never got along. This was no "Army of Darkness" or "Evil Dead" but it's still a lot of fun. Don't know if they will make a sequel but if they do I'll definitely watch it. Hopefully next time it'll have werewolves in it!
