Tucker and Dale vs Evil 2010

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: "Evil" fails to triumph. Utterly. Read more

Kathleen Murphy, MSN Movies: ... deft/daft mix of authentic feeling and sharp parody, belly laughs and visceral dread, makes Tucker & Dale vs. Evil a keeper... Read more

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times: A droll sendup of the killer-in-the-swamp genre that gets funnier as it rolls along. Read more

David Fear, Time Out: It's neither particularly funny in its desperate rural dumbness, nor is it much of a genre piss-take. Read more

Noel Murray, AV Club: Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil is too slick and too cute; Tudyk and Labine are terrific comic actors, but the movie might've been better served by less-recognizable faces. Read more

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: It's a sometimes-hilarious send-up of slasher movies that buries a surprising amount of sweetness under buckets of gore. Read more

Ty Burr, Boston Globe: It's fast, it's funny, and it works. Read more

Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader: Here's something you don't see every day: a genial, politically correct splatter comedy. Read more

Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly: At its heart, it's really just a one-idea premise stretched out to feature length, but the lovable duo of Tudyk and Labine and an endearing layer of sweetness under all the blood make it a fully enjoyable comedy of (t)errors. Read more

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: There's even a message under all the body parts: People are individuals, not just easy regional stereotypes. Read more

Ian Buckwalter, NPR: Uses its reversal of the standard roles in rural horror to fantastic comedic effect. Read more

Kyle Smith, New York Post: Essentially a student film offering nothing but absurdly contrived coincidence. Read more

Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer: Hillbillies of the world unite! Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Students of the Little Movie Glossary may find it funny how carefully "Tucker and Dale" works its way through upended cliches. Read more

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: Relying mostly on a single gimmick, the slasher comedy presents a high degree of difficulty for both the director and actors. Their earnest efforts keep the repetition from becoming ponderous. Read more

Dennis Harvey, Variety: T&D offers good-natured, confidently executed splatstick whose frequent hilarity suffers only from peaking too early. Read more

Brian Miller, Village Voice: Strikes an enjoyable tone of congenial gore. Read more
