Critic's review of Sex Lives Of The Potato Men
View all critics' reviews (4)

  True comedy
  
  Hilarious!!! Good acting. Not to be taken seriously. An enjoyable slice of British comedy. We both enjoyed it, and frequently laughed out loud.

  Sick but I loved it.
  
  Me and my partner thought it was hillarious. Sick, yes, but very very funny. And to think they got that bloke from Working Lunch to be in it.........
