Chris Morris’s constant attempts to turn it into a slapstick comedy undermines the important message behind the film and dilutes it all into a superficial exercise.
Not a disaster, but it could have been so much better…

Usually British comedy films seem to dip in the middle, get all serious for a bit then save a few gags for the end. This one keeps going and going.

I have to say I’m a Morris fanatic, and wasn’t sure how this was going to pan out, and for me it’s certainly not as funny as his Brass Eye or Jam work, but a good solid well crafted, properly laugh out loud in moments film that’s well worth watching. It was nice to sit in a cinema with loads of people pissing themselves laughing ;)
