Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

sol- Hiding his landlord's dead body becomes the least of a social miscast's problems in this offbeat indie comedy starring Little Britain's Matt Lucas. Quirky touches frequently abound as Lucas converses with his dog (who talks back!) and converses with his own reflection (which also talks back) though there is also room to wonder how much here is weird simply for the sake of it; there are several shots of Lucas prancing around in his underwear - even outside he never seems to wear pants. There is one very funny, darkly comic moment as his staging of his landlord's death as suicide backfires, however, best moments here belong to the supporting cast with James Caan as a grouchy neighbour, a near-unrecognisable Dolph Lundgren as an eccentric self-help book author and an equally near unrecognisable Peter Storemare as the odious landlord. The film is so reliant on oddball elements though that things fall apart near the end as the narrative takes a sharp, dramatic turn when Lucas discovers some unexpected things about his brother. The final scene also feels terribly banal for a movie that otherwise has originality written all over it. That said, there is a lot to like in how the events of the film indirectly lead to justice being carried out with regards to two supporting characters. The setting is pretty nifty too with 'Rear Window' parallels in plentiful supply, and the film almost serves as a comical spin on the seminal Hitchcock movie with the extreme oblivion of all residents to the landlord's disappearance - and his body being dragged out in full view at night!

joeldebastion i liked the movie, the story is great! despite the fact that the book was written in a 3 day contest it also is a great mixture of comedy (very dark humor), a little bit of drama and at last but not least it has a massage hidden and in the end outspoken... so its not a big surprise with the ending little bit to predictable, but for a novel its OK. i didn't really like little Britain and was a bit sceptical about the movie, but mr. lucas proved me wrong! he took a little from the series with him and did a great job! lundgren is a surprise, don't want to tell spoilers but i really loved his character and the style in which he was presented (specially the colours!) knoxville was OK and fitted perfectly into what he was expected in his character, not that kind of skilled acting needed i think the director put the novel into what it should be, a really good adopted movie! the story lines are not really merged but the fact that maybe one can find oneself in some of the characters is interesting sometimes you think its getting boring, but in the end you will definitely enjoy it!

punishmentpark Great colors, great photography, good, but weird characters and 'uneventful events' mixed with a sort of separation-melancholia that is well-known to dwell in many apartment complexes. Yes, though I wasn't feeling lyrical about it, I was having good fun with this 'Small Apartments' and its inhabitants and visitors. It could have done with a little more edge and a little less melancholy perhaps. But then there's the ending which takes place while the dead character Bernard Franklin speaks to us by a tape that is labeled 'the answer'... I didn't like his 'enlightened' monologue one bit, as it is far too submissive to the powers that should not be, as it were. I tried to appreciate the sympathetic gist of it, but combined with the apathetic returns or freshly acquired states of the surviving characters (Franklin Franklin travels to a far away country with plenty of cash and tits - hooray!?), I failed to reach their destinations with them.Up until that ending I would have certainly deemed it worth a good 7 out of 10, now I can't go higher than a (big) 5.

SnoopyStyle Clumsy deadbeat Franklin Franklin (Matt Lucas) accidentally kills his landlord. He must do everything in his power to hide the body. He finds the distractions of lust, the death of his beloved brother and a crew of misfit characters, forcing him on a journey where a fortune awaits him.This is one weird movie. Matt Lucas is a weird white blob of a guy in his tighty whiteys. Juno Temple has a great scene. Dolph Lundgren looks super weird. Just how weird is this? Johnny Knoxville is probably the least weird person in the movie. Add in Rebel Wilson, and this is one weird L.A. apartments complex. Did I say how weird this was? OK then.
