This crude, one-note live-action adaptation of Viz comic's regular strip aims low and still manages to misfire. Fiona Allen and Sophie Thompson don fat suits to bring Sandra and Tracy, Viz's booze-swilling, kebab-scoffing nymphos, to life. The girls' “star quality” is spotted by media baron Sean Cooley (Jerry O'Connell), after he receives a reality-altering bump on the head. Around this crass premise, the scattershot approach encompasses poorly handled gross-out slapstick, lame word play (“Show us your passes” leads to the obvious conclusion) and misjudged celebrity cameos (Geri Halliwell, Naomi Campbell, Angus Deayton). Allen and Thompson are usually engaging, and there is an entertaining film to be made from the bawdy adventures of two lusty Northern lasses — see Alan Clarke's Rita, Sue and Bob Too. Unfortunately, this comes nowhere near it.

The star of The Office and Extras was offered a small role in blockbuster The Da Vinci Code by director Ron Howard (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind). But Gervais, 44, persuaded Howard that he wasn't the best man for the job of appearing alongside Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou and Ian McKellen in the adaptation of the Dan Brown bestseller. "I was offered the part of the... Read more
