Jayesh Sinha Don't go in expecting this to be the next Citizen Kane, but don't believe the negative reviews either.This film starts off as being a typical mismatched buddy comedy, but its plot has lots of depth and is quite multi layered. The characters are all very interesting as well and the first half of the film is a total knockout.The story goes to a point where the two protagonists end up in a tight corner and you really want to know how they will possibly get out of it. Its a very intriguing situation to say the least. Its outlandish but still within the realms of being believable.Then there is the comedy. I don't think I ever laughed out loud but the film definitely had me smiling for the bulk of its length.The final part of the film was not how I would have chosen to close the chapter, but even so it is the only little gripe I have about the film.As I said, don't expect a cinematic masterpiece when you go to watch the film, BUT, this is definitely one of the most solid films in the mismatched buddy comedy (mis)adventure genre to have ever been made (at least in recent years for sure).Its not the perfect film for sure, but well worth a watch.

OG I did not laugh or even chuckle, as I more and more grimly watched this production.I won't bore you with the details, other than to say the plot was predictable once the premise was established, and was never believable. A big surprise, based on the genius of The Office and Extras. Still, when you see what a dud Derek also was, it doesn't take a genius to realize that the missing ingredient is Stephen Merchant. Once he left the collaboration, Gervais's comedic success has nosedived.

kosmasp There are spikes of comedic moments in this one and watching this I can only imagine how good the original movie must have been. Which I unfortunately haven't seen yet. The concept is pretty neat and it works overall. Bana and Gervais is a good fit, though it's not like you'll be rolling on the floor laughing.Apart from some highlights though, there is a lot of drought too. Which is a shame, because some ideas might sound funny on paper, but didn't translate onto the screen as well. It might be mildly amusing of course and if you don't have high expectations anyway, you will be more than entertained with this

ockiec Ricky Jervais wrote this for him to act in... This is plain to see. If you take that into account, and the fact that true comedy is serious and unintentional (something that Americans don't seem to understand; I am sorry, but slapstick is NOT comedy), then this film is a masterpiece...The interplay of Characters is extremely well crafted.The Characters have been formed properly and with the perfect intent of the conveyance of the story line.The editing and flow of the film is very good.The overall effect is astounding and I took immense pleasure in watching it...I will recommend this film to everyone. I predict that this film will become a cult classic...
