SO disappointed!

LOVE the alternative off-beat comedy world Harry's stand-up and TV-Burp persona created and offers, but sorry have to say... found this to be nothing but an absolute un-joke of a failure!!

The whole thing is too dark, too cheaply-made and over-self-indulgent by almost ALL of the chief performers (Simon Bird and Matt Lucas are at their VERY worst ever here!!...with poor Julie Walters god-love-her nothing, but, LOST!).

Quite simply... a MESS, and an embarassment when the best *beep* thing about the movie is a PUPPET HAMSTER!!!!

Yep. Sadly, I have to agree. I am a fan of most of Harry's work and have been to see his stand up show live which was bat *beep* crazy and hilarious. But this movie was terrible.
It committed the cardinal sin of comidies which is to be not funny in the slightest. I honestly did not laugh once.
It felt very much like a kids movie. And a very bad one at that.
Such a shame as I think he could have made a good film. Way off the mark here though. :-(
