In all seriousness, I expected a lot more out of this film - and it just didn't deliver. First of all, where I am from we grew up with British comedy (Fawlty Towers, Some Mothers Do Have 'Em etc etc etc), and so I can say I certainly appreciate good old British slapstick. In fact many of my favorite recent movies had followed in such vain (Hot Fuzz springs immediately to mind). But this movie is just bad. It's really not that funny. It is saved by a few Freudian moments but otherwise I feel it relies on overusing blasphemy to get a cheap laugh (just moments where people swore and they didn't need to).
The people out there claiming to be British comedy experts and giving THIS rave reviews quite simply do not know what they are talking about. Sorry. This film is a rental quality effort and no more.
