bonsaisamurai As an adult, this was the first film I ever walked out of It wasn't funny, it was just stupid and dark and really I can think of no redeemable factors. Even if towards the end it somehow improved it could in no way make up for the first 30 minutes or so. There is nothing worse than a film by people who think they are funny, talented or otherwise possessed of comedic brilliance when they clearly have lost it - if they ever had it before If you find this on DVD - by all means get it as it would make a fantastic gift for someone you hate. Acting - abysmal Writing - I think they were just winging it and had no script Filming/production - Blair Witch Project was of better quality.

WakenPayne I Think That IMDb Has To Be Split Up Because Not Every Movie Can Be Judged On The Same Level(Compare This To Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy...You Can't Can You?), This Film Was Always Going To Be Stupid(Explain How Richard Blew Up In An Oven And Still Survived), Since Adrian Edmondson And Rick Mayall Asked Each other "What If Bottom Became A Movie?" This Is Another One Of Those "Plot Doesn't Matter" Movies Where You Only Watch It For The Laughs, The Funniest Part Is The Entire Sequence When Richard Was In Womens Underwear Running Around The Hotel, Name Any Part Out Of Those 10 Minutes; The Italian Love Goddess Movie Star Seeing Him In That State(Of Course He Hides), How He Explains To Eddie What The Hell He's Doing Yet Trying To Make Him Believe He Is Hereto Sexual(He Doesn't Succeed, If He Did I WOULD Compare It To Shakespeare.), Richard Blowing Up In An Oven, Eddie Blowing Up Richards Pantes, Its All Hysterical.Overall I Suggest A Viewing If You Want To See A Really Dumb Comedy.(Or If You Want To See Bill Nighy And Simon Pegg In The Same Movie But Not On Screen Together.)

Cormorant This is the FIRST movie that has made me feel completely SICK to the bottom of my mind, soul and body.I just saw it on DVD at home, & saw it to the end because it was recommended and I have liked all Rick Mayall's other work including the Young Ones and Bottom (though more the last Season of that.) It's quite clear Edmonson & Mayall wanted to take certain themes (like vomit, and extreme balls & head crunching) to the limit. But that is about IT. There were some vague sexual references and some crawling through crawl spaces, but the only really funny thing I found was right at the start with Eddy sleep motorcycling. From there it was all downhill. And ALL THE SAME, over and frickin over.That I have to warn about "may contain spoilers" after so few words says something about the movie.That's about IT….Oh, plus, I am expected to find the prospect of a dozen or so perfectly innocent men women and children dying in the unutterable agony of extreme radiation poisoning, while the poisoners jet off to the Caribbean with "a million pounds and gorgeous crumpet"… hilarious...? It wasn't the vomit, it was THAT I found just too SICK after so much wasted time and repetitively brainless slapstick.I haven't had dinner, I am hungry, but I am literally too ill to eat after this. Not even the later Hellraiser movies did this to me, either from horror or lack of detectable story line! I WANT MY 89 MINUTES BACK PLUS THE DVD RENTAL! Those amateur reviewers pushing this film so hard I have to suspect are having a little sadistic fun themselves... "'Ere eat this luvly shellfish with the extra hot sauce added, you'll feel LUVLY!!!" Eeerrgaghhhhhhhhhh..............Rick Mayall is one of the greatest comedians of our time - whether in slapstick (Bottom) or high satire (The New Statesman, Believe Nothing). I think that's what made this one stink bomb so hard to take in the end.

missmarmite I had seen Rik Mayall in Blackadder and the New Statesman, so I thought I'd give this film a try.At around 4 pm I bought it, at around 8pm I started to watch, at around 8.15pm I fast forwarded the remaining film to see if there was anything left watchable for a human being with a brain... but there wasn't. At around 8.45pm I threw the DVD into the dustbin. And that's where this "film" belongs.What ever happened to British humour? The humour so fine and witty, intelligent and artful that you find in Yes, Minister, Blackadder, Vicar of Dibley, Fawlty Towers or The Fast Show? The black humour Britain is so famous for? I don't want to insult anybody, but I presume even stupid children wouldn't find this funny. They deserve more intelligent fun. And Rik Mayall, you can do better, so please, do!
