Excellent
Went and saw this last night and I thought it was excellent.
If you're a fan of Extra's then this is for you as Gervais' character is similer to Andy Millman with regards to his sarcasm, cinicism and humour.
If you're not a fan of the above (like my fiancee) you probably won't think much of this film.
Very good debut as a lead role... -

I was really looking forward to watching this one. I was rather gutted when I'd watched it. It was quite underwhelming. -
