    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Ridiculous... But Funny !

    Saw this after a particularly grim day at work and thought nothing would bring me round... this did !! Ok it is daft, it is slapstick and it is patently ridiculous in the extreme... but it is also funny, in fact very funny in parts.

    There are a few verbal jokes that are very close to the edge for a 12A rated film, if your kids laugh, you know they know too much !!!

    I can see that the voice and some of the slapstick might be groaners for some viewers of this, and is it worth a 4 star, well it perked me up, and I definately would rate it as one for the rental list - go on, you know you want to !
