  oNE FOR THE ROAD
  
  A typically mediocre british comedy with not a lot to offer - switched it off halfway through and watched Big Brother instead!!

  Bit droopy
  
  Quirky camera work and a gritty edge.However the pace falls off after an interesting start spoiling an otherwise good film.

  This is a low budget british film about drink drivers. As such, it's probably not for everyone. I found it a very dark comic treat ... read more »
