  Mitchell and Webb not at their best
  
  Not Mitchell and Webbs funniest work. Got a bit bored half way through this. If your expecting a laugh a minute then this is probably not for you.

  Just avoid!
  
  I hired this expecting it to be the same type of humour as their TV series - big mistake! So embarassingly awful I just could not watch it to the end. Maybe it ... read more »

  I'd give it less than one star if I could
  
  Absolute rubbish - tedious and unfunny. Could have done with some decent editing - some scenes were pointless and seemed to go on for ever

  YOU'LL LIKE THIS. NOT A LOT!
  
  I am a fan of Mitchell and Webb and this is pitched in the 'safe' area of their range. Reminiscent of an old fashioned British comedy.

  Made for TV
  
  Harmless way of spending some time this. Not really 'movie' status more like an extended TV drama. Enjoyable nonetheless though.
