This movie is a great comedy, both the UK and US versions work well. I initially watched the UK version because I am a big fan of Alan Tudyk and once I saw Peter Dinklage was also in it I made it a point to watch that version first. I was not disappointed. Tudyk was amazing and Dinklage played his part expertly. I then watched the US version with my parents and a few of my aunts. I figured they would prefer the US version since we are from the US and it would be easier for them to understand because although I like dry British humor it is not for everyone. James Marsden was serviceable but I thought Tudyk played the part better. All in all the movie was a hit and my parents and aunts were literally rolling on the floor with laughter, as i did when I watched the UK version. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who has a sense of humor and ignore the bad reviews. I agree the original version was the one I liked better but not everyone likes pretentiously dry British humor. It's the same thing as "The Office". I like the British version but I get tired of trying to understand their slang and my parents/ aunts would just tune out within 10 minutes if I put that version on. It's just easier watching the US version.
