Strong and Moving!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Too be honest, this was a horrible movie to watch. It was annoying since this is one of those movies that clearly lacks a purpose and you just don't really known what it is you're watching. Luckilly the movie does get slightly better toward its end, so I'm more or less glad I still finished watching it, since I almost switched it off after its first 15 minutes, something I normally never ever do.I still don't know if the movie is trying to be a comedy or a serious movie with comical moments in it. Eitherway, it doesn't really work out effectively. Perhaps it's because of the very underwritten script. It doesn't has some good funny moments written in it and it mostly relies on the stereotyped characters being funny, which they just aren't however. As a realistic and honest straight-forward drama the movie works out better but the atmosphere is just way too light for it to truly ever work out effectively. So here we have one messy movie that just ever really work out either way.The movie is going nowhere really at its start but if you'll survive the first hour relax, the movie will get slightly better after that point. But it's just too little too late, I'm afraid.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Well, when i was watching this movie, i was thinking that the writer know some Brazilian family, because "the Martins" are exactly like an common Brazilian family (they should change the name of this movie to "The Brazilians").The main character (and the rest of his family) don't work, live with government benefits, steal things, is impolite, is dumb, don't respect anyone. His son is donkey and his daughter is pregnant on adolescence.The ending is dreadful, Robert Martin get under arrest, but after few time, he back to his house and the movie finishes, so, the movie finishes like it started, nothing special happened.I am Brazilian and i don't like those people, but this movie no have funny.

Lee Evans puts in a superb performance as Bob Martin in this poignant black comedy, proving his comic talent transfers just as easily to the big screen. Kathy Burke also puts in a flawless performance as his long suffering wife.The picture tells the story of a family we all know, from any council estate around England, neighbours from hell type stuff, and yet at the same time makes you identify with the plight of the main character as he struggles to make sense of his life.There are some great visual gags as well as some genuinely funny lines and all the while you feel as though Evans is an almost psychotic who could snap at any moment.If you liked The Parole Officer, I think you'll like this, although slightly darker, the comedy is on a par with Steve Coogan.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsThe set-up and concept for this comedy flick,as well as the user-friendly running time of just 83 minutes,looked set to be rib-tickling.Sadly however,the directorial debut of Tony Grounds is a huge disappointment,with very few laughs and very unbelievable performances.It could have been great.Sadly,it is anything but.**
