More about Clown in a Cornfield

Eli Craig gave an interview to AV Club where he was asked about how he managed to make a film with a message while not being pushy. He said,

"That is the job for me. That’s what I love: movies that have something to say but don’t hit you over the head with it, and you maybe have to think about it for a second, because you’re so entertained that it doesn’t seem like the filmmaker’s trying to say something. [Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil], to me, is a treatise on classism in American culture and the arrogance of the elite looking down on the underprivileged. But almost nobody thinks of that when they see Tucker & Dale because it’s a farce, and I love films that have layers upon layers of meaning. So if I can get somebody to think more deeply about the film and dissect it, that’s fantastic, but if somebody just comes and enjoys the ride, that’s cool, too."
