Hilarious!

Just thought I'd add my two-pennerth.

It is a VERY long time since I laughed so much at a film. Sophisticated it isn't but what the hell... I thought it was extremely funny. I had to pause the film when Johnnie Vegas was trying to jump over the fence... I laughed 'til I cried and my sides hurt. =o) Once I could breathe properly again I pressed play and watched the rest of it and I laughed out loud on plenty of other occasions too. It's crass, crude and disgusting but hilariously funny all at the same time.

This is a smutty, British comedy with cringeworthy moments and some unnatractive people in it but it's damned funny nonetheless. Ignore the reviews, watch it yourself and make your OWN mind up.

The problem with reviews is that they are OPINIONS and nothing more. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG!!!!! Personally I can't stand that Harry Potter tripe but hey, they're only films, so I'm not spewing my guts. For those of you getting wound up about this film (or any others, for that matter) get over yourselves FFS!!!

And to "Nice Purse": Slating a film that you haven't even seen just takes the biscuit. To make such damning statements without having watched it is ridiculous. Lighten up and don't get your knickers in a twist... it's not healthy you know.

...obvious studio plant reviews, such as this one.

Incorrect. You're just too cynical.

This is my first foray into the boards on this site as, after reading the rubbish that some people have written on here, I felt compelled to say something in response. Just because I find this film funny when a lot of others don't does not mean I have any connection to the studio that produced this film.

What about MARTIN99's comments?

I laughed my head off, and cannot wait to tell like minded people to see this movie.

Do yourself a favour, get some beers in, order a curry, and stick this film on..

Do you consider this to be a 'studio plant' too?

So what if I haven't posted on here before now? Is there a time limit for making your first post? If you had read my last reply properly you will have seen the reason for the lack of posts before then.

If I WAS being paid to say good things about the film, which I'm not, why would I wait until now to say something? Surely it would have been better to put in a positive vote when the film was still in the cinemas?

Eddy, you still didn't reply to my earlier post - or have you actually realised that you've been talking complete bollox about me?

For your benefit, in that post, I quoted someone else's positive comments about the film...

Still think it's only a 'studio plant' that could have something positive to say about the film?
