Funny, bonkers, but waaaaaaaaaay too long


The Cravendale adverts are a good length. The original shorts are pushing it at 5 minutes. But 75 minutes of this is enough to marmalise your brain.

Agreed. It was hilarious for the first half hour or so but the extended chase sequence was exhausting to watch. This really would have worked better as a TV series or a couple of half hour long specials.

I agree entirely, the chase started halfway into the movie and didn't finish until 5 minutes until the end.

Maybe I just like my films more structured, who knows.

It's 71 mins without credits and it does feel baggy and overlong after around 45 mins in, unfortunately.

It would've worked better as a 30 min short as there wasn't enough material to sustain a feature length film.

not sure what I would cut myself, although I understand your point.
