  Utter Rubbish
  
  This film has got to be one of the worst films Ive seen in a long time. Talk about a budget film based in a robots head. My advice is watch something else

  Not his best
  
  Feel not one of Eddie's best but a good laugh, feel may be he is now coming to the end of his time and needs better lines etc.
