Underrated

Does anyone else believe this film is underrated?

Sure the last act of the film is a little rushed, but there are elements of jet black "American Psycho" style humor "but driving behind the ambulance really was fantastic!","Ill probably try and shag her", some quite dark plot points (Fiona's suicide attempt) and the performances are all great especially young Nicolas Hoult who should be given credit for that haircut alone.

I think you may need to be a certain kind of person to really connect with it. I agree, it's criminally underrated.

It's rated highly by critics, but I don't think it's talked about as much as Four Weddings and Notting Hill are. I watched it for the first time last year and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
