Not Funny .. Huge Disappointment, 5 January 2008
Author: ichocolat from i1chocolat.blogspot.com

The reason I watched this movie is because of the actors, Robert Webb and David Mitchell. I heard of many rave reviews about these two actors in their show, Peep Show, so I gave this movie a try.

Man, I was so disappointed. I really thought that the show is gonna make me laugh, but it didn't. Somehow, something went utterly wrong with the movie. The jokes is far in between and the jokes is very hard to understand, too. Maybe it is because of the British jokes. Man, I really don't know.

I expect a lot more from Webb and Mitchell, and a lot more from the character development of their character.
