  I think this film is very easy to relate to on some level from every one. We all put things off and let things pass us by and yes this is a cliched area in this... read more »

  Not classic Pegg
  
  Good characters, funny but..
  
  I'm a big Pegg fan

  Where's the laughs?
  
  I thought this was a rather unfunny movie. A couple of funny moments and a very predictable storyline made us wishing for it to end.
