Tucker & Dale vs Evil (2010) ***1/2

When I finally saw this movie I had forgotten why I had downloaded it or where is it that I had read about it. But 10 minutes into it and I knew that even if I can’t remember the reasons I can still trust my judgment. At least as far as movies are concerned. I am not...
