Has anyone seen this film yet? The protagonist is very clearly an aspie.

The title hints at us (just a little :wink: ).

BTW, this should be moved to the TV and movies section of the forum.

Yeah, Simon Pegg. But he lacks co-star Nick Frost and "Shaun"/"Hot Fuzz" director Edgar Wright. And I don't believe there's a Bill Nighty cameo either.... o.O

Pegg can do all right in a film on his own sometimes, like in "Run Fatboy, Run." But at least in that film he had a somewhat classy female lead and got to play off comic actors Hank Azaria and Dylan Moran. From what I understand this is supposed to be a rom-com love triangle, and the two female leads are not very impressive comic actresses. Plus the trailer didn't even make me crack a smile...

Based on the trailer I watched on YouTube, he seemed more the boorish jackass than anything remotely aspie. Being careless and a bit crass may be a social skills problem, but it's of a different type than what aspies experience.

Aside from the movie itself, I love the title. I could write a book based on that title alone. :lol:

Oh snap!

Now I know I need to see it if it's got director Edgar Wright.

Hillarious movie!
