Matthew Sweet Independent on Sunday Sep 24
A stumbling, dismal comedy... The government should requisition this movie and burn it. Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) Sep 24
There is nothing to be said in favour of Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis, a witless British comedy. Go to Full Review
Mike Davies Birmingham Post Sep 24
This lame, outdated music-biz satire is a woeful reminder of just how bad British comedy can be. Like The Full Monty never happened. Go to Full Review

12/14/2011 I didn't really like this film, it starred Jane Horrocks who plays Julie from Trollied and it also starred Rik Mayall but I won't watch this film again, I don't want this movie on DVD, I didn't think it was a good movie See more 02/20/2011 Look out for a rarity in this if you know Mayall as the 'Rick' type character from The Young Ones. This highly underrated film has Rik as a character far different than his usual persona and makes a very good job of it too. Add Jane Horrocks as the titular character and this movie becomes more than excellent. See more 05/02/2009 I really enjoyed it! I am a Rik Mayall fan so am usually biased but I honestly think this is one ALOT of people could enjoy and I don't really understand why it wasn't a bigger hit than it was! Rik show's us that he is a truely great actor in this film. We see a serious and sensitive side as well as the comic side he his better known for and pulls off both fantastically! There really are some hileriously funny bits in this film! See more 04/10/2009 It's always fun to see Rik Mayall play a real asshole. This is something you enjoy on a hung-over sunday. See more 02/26/2008 I should marry Rik Mayall. I really want to. See more 02/03/2008 Rik Mayall is a dream. I like just about everything (one television show [FR&C] aside) he's graced.
