Strictly average movie
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

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Bradley Walsh is a funny guy. As is Kayan Novak. Put them in this BBC sitcom that's trying to be somewhere between 'The Pink Panther' and 'Minder' however and they both come out of it looking like the most unfunny men on the planet.The farcical elements are all well and good, we know that Novak is a man of a million voices, but some of the jokes are so cringe worthy that you wince rather than laugh.The always lovely Emma Pierson is a welcome addition, but there's a good reason this show didn't make it to series 2 and that's that it was so cartoonish that people couldn't get on with it.Comedy is a hard nut to crack. Just ask the writers of this show.

Got to say first time I watched this show I thought it was the worst thing I had ever seen. But once you realise its silly fun TV with crazy characters you will grow to care about, its unmissable (sort of like a Will Ferrell movie for TV) The other great thing about this series is its there for all the family, my 8 year loves it beyond love and my 13 year will also watch episodes on repeat.Shame so many people would rather be miserable rather than enjoy what is a brilliant piece of TV comedy gold.Bradley Walsh deserves a lot of credit for his brilliant off the wall portrayal of Brutus, his facial expressions, one liners and comic timing really push this show from average to brilliant.Please please BBC give us a second series!!

At first it was difficult to know what to make of this programme but go with the flow and you soon realise it is an absolute gem. Each character is odd, but accessible and likable. Each week's story is a quirky take on a familiar theme (false identity, scam, rip off, smuggling - you get the picture) and so far it works. There could be some queasiness about the portrayal of foreigners and accents being the butt of jokes but everyone is a caricature and no one escapes parody.I really hope the BBC invests in this programme as it has a feel of a series such as 'Not Going Out' - at first not perfect but warm and quite gentle.

Basically Kayvan Novak from facejacker and Bradley Walsh. Genuinely couldn't make it through the 1st episode.Novaks comedy works in off the wall, short sketches, but it just doesn't work in this. It tries to be quick fire comedy and witty, but it just isn't. Rather pretentious oddly.Maybe its the combination of Bradley Walsh as well. Walshs 'comedy' is basically prescribed and its delivery rather obvious, like a magician trying to be a comedian or a comedy uncle who has saved up one liners. Its just awkward. He is sometimes funny, but often not. Navak is often funny, but sometimes not. Combine the two trying to be witty and what results just isn't funny.The 1st episode is just terrible. Full of holes in the story, really poor slapstick and badly delivered lines. I like facejacker, well some of it anyway, so wanted to like this, but it just doesn't work. Walsh belongs on game shows, he isn't bad at them, but a good comedian he isn't.No idea what the other reviewers were watching. You would have to be pretty easily amused to think this witty. I'd go as far as saying they had vested interest as I can't imagine who this would appeal to.
