• Eaten By Bad Acting

  This is terrible. First of all, the lead actor looks 'handsome' but can't act to save his life. The rest of the cast also can't act and struggle with badly written cardboard dialogue. Finally, the writing / dialogue is trying way to hard to be 'super witty' and comes across as super forced. Poor. 4/10

  Comedy drama. Starts very strong with a heart-warming plot and frequent LOL humour. Two half-brothers Omar and Pete are on a journey to find Omar's estranged father after their granny (who looked after them) passes away. Pete is played by Jack Carroll, who UK viewers might recognise, but might not know why? He was a very young comedian and runner up in a recent Britain's got Talent contest. I think he was well cast and showed he can be a first rate actor as well. Also stars Johnny Vegas, another well-known UK comedian, who wasn't used enough, he stole every scene. This is a great British film, which unfortunately really loses its way during the Rolls Royce sketch.

• Lots of laughs paper over the cracks

  The film isn't perfect and has a slight feel of cheap TV movie but the gags are written well most I've laughed at a film in quite some time and is mostly well written. The storyline gets by and great cameos by Johnny Vegas and others hold it together. Overall an enjoyable film even if it didn't feel slightly tacky and jumpy storyline wise at times.

  A movie you'd expect to be shown on BBC Three. I ventured out of town to see this as it wasn't showing at my local cinema. Good turn out at the screening. I found it funny as did the audience. We all had a good laugh. Recommended
