writer-director Tom Edmunds makes an impressive feature debut with this hilarious British black comedy; With a perfectly struck tone that recalls the work of the Coen Brothers, this is a deliciously dark treat with a surprisingly warm heart
the film might have survived the tortuous plotting, sub-sitcom jokes and drab direction if it wasn't for Barnard's woefully misjudged, wet blanket performance, but it's highly doubtful. It'll be dead in a week and you'll want your money back
despite an impressive cast doing their best to give it some zip (Tom Wilkinson, Marion Bailey, Christopher Eccleston), this is one of those baffling British indie comedies that has somehow got made in the face of its own silliness
