Russel Brand, I respectfully request you go DIE IN A HOLE FROM AN OVERDOSE OF YOUR OWN ANNOYINGNESS.

Look. I like Gemma Arterton. If a film's going to have Gemma Arterton in a school uniform in it, then I'm going to watch it. Don't judge me, man!
Half a star for the rest of this dreadful slab of cack.

No. Just no.
Even with that cast - Stephen Fry, Colin Firth, Russel Brand - I lasted about 20 minutes before calling it quits.

So bad that it made my eyes sting.
-
I like it because Russell Brand is in it.

The only parts worth watching are Colin Firth making fun of himself and the theme song.

I think this is hella enjoyable. It doesn't take itself seriously at all and is pretty ridiculous at times but it works. Could have done without Russell Brand.

This movie has all 15 British actors in it but that still couldn't make any of the really broad jokes and the tame sense of anarchy land. Though I would watch a 80s style comedy with Russell Brand as an atypical babysitter because that guy even has hilarious charisma even with children.

"Finally a movie where one of my celeb crushes Gemma Arterton has a good role aside from The Disappearance of Alice Creed. Movie however, isn't good. While it has a few laughs, there's just a few of them. There were laughs to be had & it just didn't work. Gemma Arterton, Colin Firth & Lucy Punch are good but it wasn't enough."

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Some stars for being very British and for showing young girls being unique and awesome. I have no idea who the audience for this film would be, but it sure ain't me.

Pretty much an exercise in being unfunny. Despite a remarkable cast (Juno Temple! Lily Cole! Gemma Arterton! Rupert Everett! Colin fucking Firth!) manages to completely lack any semblance of wit or humour. It tries (oh lord does it try) but we get nothing more that allegedy wacky events without much rhyme or reason behind them. An utter chore to sit through.

I hate the fact that this wasn't as cool as I remembered. I hate the fact that I made us watch it. I love the fact that we turned it off after 20 minutes.
