Rating: 3/5 -- It's hard to quibble with Sightseers, and its satirical, observational eye is spot on, mining to laser-like effect hitherto underdocumented subjects in British comedy cinema. Full Review

As in any romantic comedy, the movie's success ultimately rests with the relationship, and theirs is about as wickedly funny as they come.

Wheatley's control has never seemed greater, the music cues, the deft editing by Wheatley, Amy Jump and Robin Hill and the performances all so sharp that the film is allowed to be viewed properly as the gem that it is. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Initially sweet and good natured, only to become disturbing yet laugh-out-loud funny, Sightseers is a dark treat. Full Review

Product Description:

A vacationing couple frustrated by obnoxious teens, careless litterers, and pre-booked RV sites find their peaceful trip to the countryside turning unexpectedly bloody in this black comedy from director Ben Wheatley (DOWN TERRACE, KILL LIST) and producer Edgar Wright (ATTACK THE BLOCK). His girlfriend Tina (Alice Lowe) having led a particularly sheltered life, Chris (Steve Oram) packs up his cherished Abbey Oxford caravan, and prepares to take her on a guided tour of his favorite destinations. The Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, and the Keswick Pencil Museum are all on his "must see" list, but along the way, they'll have a chance to breathe easy while soaking in the lush scenery of rural Britain. Not long after they hit the road, however, a series of minor irritations start to disrupt Chris' attempt to show Tina the perfect holiday. When he finally explodes, Tina sees a side of her new boyfriend that's at once terrifying, and strangely exciting.
