Little White Lies

Feels more like mates mucking around with a camera than a proper movie.

Rated: 1/5

Guardian

The film has the knockabout feel of a kids' TV show on CBBC, which is no bad thing, but the comedy doesn't quite come together.

Rated: 2/5

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Low-budget caper about a stolen comic book that is, with the best will in the world, unfit for human consumption.

May be rough at best, but at least shows far more potential for future creative prosperity than many a micro budget effort.

If you're prepared to overlook its financial shortcomings, then you'll enjoy what is an entertaining and knowing little yarn.

Rated: 3/5

What Culture

Here is a film with humour and energy and heart, made by people whose primary objective appears to have been to make a movie they themselves would like to see.

Rated: 3.5/5

why ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This movie actually made 0 sense. I would rather watch Birdemic: Shock and Terror everyday for the rest of my life before I watch a single minute of this movie.

I have been looking for this film since I heard about it a few years ago, I found it last week on blinkbox and bought it, I really enjoyed the film, I thought it was funny and endearing although you could tell it was made on a tight budget I don't think this film could have been better even with a bigger budget. I really enjoyed Derek dick (Fish) as uncle Joey.

What could be an amusing story is blighted by poor acting,poor direction and editing by a two year old. If a school set a project to create a film, this would be it.
