Expected more

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It's funny how there are so many apparently individual IMDb users who are rating this film as something that deserves to be up there with The Godfather and The Empire Strikes Back whereas users on other sites overwhelmingly rate it with the lowest numbers possible.Comedies should either make you laugh or at least be satisfyingly witty. Not this one. The script was definitely a one-pass with no adult supervision, random scenes were thrown in for no reason, the "twist" was pointless, the resolution was unsatisfying as it had no prelude and none of the characters were consistent - only Craig Conway managed to be the same person from beginning to end.The cinematography was unimaginative, the sound was regularly at whisper level and the director and editor seemed to be working on two different projects.It's also important to highlight that the vast majority of celebrity appearances were so fleeting that it is PAINFULLY obvious that they are only there to slap on the poster in order to con an audience into picking up the DVD. Producers - if you're going to do that, at least give us a decent story to watch!I'm not a basher of independent film. I love decent low-budget stuff but it is important to balance out all these rave reviews with the truth.Oh, and whichever critic allowed themselves to be quoted on the poster as claiming this was "laugh out loud clever" needs a career change. There were two or three smile-worthy moments at best.

Really loved this film when I saw it at the cinema and loved it even more having watched it on DVD! For me it did everything that a film like this needed to do and more. It was funny, gripping and had really well rounded characters who did a great job at really bringing the whole thing together!I love the ensemble cast too who although large really made it feel like the film was covering a large demographic of people. Im not sure what the budget for the film was but it seemed as if the filmmakers were really getting a lot out of what i would imagine would not have been a massive budget for an independent British feature film. All in all a great watch with a lovable cast and slick direction. for the film deserves a 10/10

I actually got bought this film as a joke! (my flatmate thinking he was funny - think about the title) so I went into it without knowing a thing. I thought it was MAD funny and I actually found myself caring about the lead, James, in his plight to win over the girl of his dreams. (maybe I am a loser after all!) By far my favourite character was the physiatrist who pops up throughout which leads to a BRILLIANT twist at the end I genuinely didn't see coming. The funniest scene is one I can't really describe on here, but look out for a drunken sexual encounter that left me giggling so hard I had to rewind the DVD! Great fun, highly recommended.9/10

Just picked this up on DVD and was really pleasantly surprised by how imaginative and funny it was. I really liked all the characters and their relationships with each other and the way human story really shone through the humour. I especially loved how the large cast really melded well together and bounced off each other. This was aided by some hilarious cameos that I did not expect but really liked. As a lover of comedies in a similar vein i really thinks it stands up with films like Hitch and The Hangover. All in all i really enjoyed the film and felt it was one of my favourite comedies of 2011. i think it is a great example of tight streamlined filmmaking and i look forward to seeing more of the cast in the future. 9/10
