It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
View MoreThe performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
View MoreThe 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
View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

View More... to be so young and to have done such great work on both sides of a production (and more than just once) is truly remarkable. If you do not want to meet and know this person.. then that says much about you. These little six episode series she creates are so much fun.. and her on-screen performance artistry is matched by very few. Do you like one more than another, of course, but still all are good.. and you truly cannot wait for the next one to come about. Would wait a bit and watch any again.. they are great, and each episode matches the strength of the others.. that's an extraordinary accomplishment. There's lots of 'celebrities'.. this woman is a real force.. can't wait for her next endeavor to hit the screen.
View MoreThis bypassed me on Channel 4 initially but I'm so glad that I caught up with it online.Funny, rude and oddly moving in places, the triangle between Kate, Lulu and Anthony will resonate with so many. The writing and casting are just spot on..how Adrian Scarborough fits in this I don't know but he just *does*. There were points when I wanted to thump Anthony for playing Kate and Lulu and Sam is utterly infuriating but ultimately endearing and I so want to watch these characters grow and I hope that channel 4 give it the opportunity.Fingers crossed for series 2...we need it.
View MoreWhat a gem of a show. I watched the whole series in one go and just can't believe it was over so quickly. Very impressive how much they packed into a 25 minute sit com. So much so I wondered if it would sit better in a longer format. Each character had a compelling arc and while keeping the laughs at a spectacular high (particularly episode 3) the characters are simultaneously deepened with each episode. The show seemed to fixate on people not being able to tell the truth of themselves. Brilliant place to start for comedic characters. Everyone is in love with the wrong person while pining after the right person but we are left constantly wondering if the right person is in fact right after all. Even though I was rooting for certain couples to get together - Lulu/ Anthony, Sam/Fred I wasn't sure if it would be actually the best thing for them. I laughed, I cringed, I wretched and I have told everyone to watch it so I can talk about it in depth. The characters have remained in my mind long after I finished watching. A show with it's own identity is truly rare and this one came Crashing in with exactly that.A personal highlight is the introduction to the phrase "fanny gallop".
