First off I don't rate Ricky Gervais as an 'actor', I always see him as David Brent (from The Office)
Didn't really like the look of the film (or the reviews) so never watched it until yesterday.
I was pleasantly surprised ! It starts off really well and actually builds into something that is genuinely funny and interesting
What I didn't like
I would speculate the last third of the film was written by somebody different to whoever wrote the first two thirds. Because the last 1/3 I found rather trite and glib. Not in a terrible way but it marred what had been a solid, well made, well acted film up to this point .
The film rather rather out of steam , i've given it a 6/10 as a result
Would I watch it again ? - No.
