Tom M Sep 18 Couldn't really get into this. Some funny moments but all a bit low key. A sketch stretched. See more annie g Mar 30 This movie was funny and heartwarming. I cannot even begin to express how moved I was by Brett Goldsteins performance. He deserves so many more accolades than I know he will get for this but go put and see this movie!! See more Don L 02/08/2024 Low budget banger, funny sweet and incredibly romantic. See more B-Dub 11/06/2023 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. See more Albert W 04/26/2023 A bit different superhero movie. Enjoyed it. Some funny parts but could have had more. 3.5 stars. See more isla s 09/04/2022 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. See more Read all reviews
