Comedy, mockumentary.
Richard McCreedie (the retail billionaire) is a consistently horrible character.
The movie is set in 2 halves, partly in the present day, where we see some character building and the preparations for Richard McCreedie's extravagant 60th birthday party. Partly in flash-backs format, where we see the most interesting parts that show the billionaires rise to wealth, striking his business deals in Shri-Lanka and the working conditions in the clothing sweatshops, and the Government select committee investigation into his dodgy business practices.
The best character was provided by David Mitchell's awkward biographer. I'm not sure what this movie was trying to be, black comedy or social commentary, more moral messages and social statistics are displayed during the end credits.
