Steve Signal is a telephone developer working for a popular mobile phone company but goes on the run when his prototype for the new model (iSignal - product placement opportunities!) is stolen and he is suspected of selling it to a rival telephone vendor.

He teams up with a beautiful swedish computer programmer (Scarlett Johansson) and a bumbling telephone enthusiast (Jonah Hill) to hunt down the missing iSignal

This leads them to a hollowed out Fjord in norway where the evil Dr. Rex McPkAnk (John Hurt) is using it to make long distance phone calls on our heroes account.

Our heroes get the prototype back after defusing a bomb, freeing slave children and doing some exciting parkour.

The DiF commentary will no doubt complain about the lack of stakes in the third act.

Teague, have you seen any of Steven Moffats 'Sherlock' ? It seems to be the sort of thing your talking about. taking the Holmes character and putting him in a contempary setting just as films in the forties had him going to fight Nazis.

I've been a massive fan of these guys since I caught the first episode of Spaced by chance in 1999 and was lucky enough to actually meet them and claw at a window for them for Shaun of the Dead.

But I do kind of find each project a little less successful from the last for the most part, the exception being Hot Fuzz which actually going back a few years later knowing its style I liked much more. (see earlier in the thread about ones expectations going in)

Paul was in no way a bad film but didn't really manage to hit greatness either, I think a lot of what made their other films work was the idea of taking these genres and put them in suburban or rural England to give them a different spin.

This was an Alien encounters movie set in the usual places with some tourist jokes thrown in and to be fair, Unless they met the alien in John O'Groats and he had to get to Land's End to avoid capture your not really going to have a British road movie, seeing as it would only take about 15 hours.

The podcast FixedR posted is well worth a listen. They talk about how they intentionally wrote a more commercial movie to justify the budget whilst aiming for Indie sensibilities, aiming for something akin to "little miss sunshine - with Gollum"

I think it probably had more to do with Lucas not watching Return of the Jedi before writing RoTS. Obi-Wan picking up Anakins saber was apparently an afterthought

I saw it a few years ago when it first came out on DVD and had such low expectations that I rather enjoyed it.

It's fun for what it is.
