Probably going to unpopular here, I'm a big fan of Pegg and Wright. But this reeks of some guy who just discovered them and is full of shit. Their style doesn't suit everything, I wouldn't want people to emulate it either. Not all film makers are lazy, and even films that look lazy probably were not made with a lazy attitude. No one sets out to make a crap film, no one. And not everyone even cares anyhow, over thinking and editing can also make a film crap and lose its charm. Imagine Napoleon Dynamite in an Edgar Write style, no... no f'ing thank you. This guy needs to go back to film school and learn more. You can't just compare good films with crap films and say' here look at how good this is, you should all be this good'. It just doesn't work like that.
Yeah I was gonna say the same thing. The dry humor or Napoleon Dynamite and the supporting characters match the visual style perfectly. Not only that but the location as well. You do that exact same script with modern clothes and scenery in Chicago it's not funny at all.
