A hit and miss comedy. Go to Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian 10/08/2009

The normally wonderful Kate Ashfield bags a supporting slot as Milo's love interest only to spend the film's climax ruthlessly gagged with a strip of gaffer tape. Given the state of the dialogue, this is probably for the best. Go to Full Review Leslie Combemale Cinema Siren 07/26/2019
That quirky English slapstick is in evidence throughout the movie, and the ensemble cast is easy to get attached to, as they all wholeheartedly jump into playing such a diverse set of interesting and funny characters. Go to Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon 01/14/2010

The good new is that it goes to DVD almost immediately so can be left to gather dust in a Woolies bargain bin. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

St M @Steve73 Feb 17 Very funny , quirky and welsh hills too, See more Pater H @RT27982236 Feb 3 The poor reviews for this are really missing the point. Comparing it to Grosse Point Blank is insane. It's a cute and charming little film with quirky characters, amusing moments and enough of the slightly bizarre to give it an additional lift. Relax and enjoy it!
