I found it to be a little surprising. When I decided to watch I expected to in 15 to 20 minutes to lose interest. The 60th anniversary scene was so well done. Yes it was a bit flat at start to provide the baseline of his character. This remind me of most British comedies, I see very slow moving and dry. In the end had great heart.

I thought it was a cute movie with an interesting concept. A little quirky but sweet.

A hilarious movie and a quirky take on Superheroes. Goldstein is excellent.

This is a quirky watch - its lightly amusing, in a British, superhero fan, nerdy sort of a way. Suffice to say, its quite a cringe-y watch and some aspects of the film reminded me a little of the show Derek, with the main character being in his own world, so to speak - he's very much socially awkward (something I can relate to). I liked seeing Catherine Tate in it, who plays Bobs boss at the Ministry of Defence. I also liked David Harewood, who plays a TV news anchor. I liked how/that the film pokes fun at the media, 24 hour breaking news etc. It has the look of a sitcom about it, as I say - a low-ish key British sitcom, the kind BBC3 may air. I thought it got funnier towards the end, it had just about won me over. I thought it was reasonably good but the first half of the film I wasn't especially keen on.

Observer (UK)

Co-writer and star Brett Goldstein holds it all together very amiably, while Catherine Tate, Natalia Tena and Ruth Sheen provide solidly entertaining support.

Goldstein is enormously endearing, while Drever milks the mundanity for laughs and unexpected sweetness.

A light but effective comedy that offers something new in a genre where almost everything has been explored.

Irrespective of the lack of ingenuity within this endeavour, it remains entirely watchable thanks to the affability of our eponymous protagonist.
