This film will never win any prizes but it was fun to watch and the plot advanced fairly quickly. Some jokes, some slapstick -- and a completely failed urine-in-a-beer-can set up that had no pay-off. Would it have been so hard to have someone drink it? The film is ramped from a 5 to a 7 by the superb performance of Richard Ayoade, who I honestly think could make the word 'hello' hilarious. While pretty much everything about the film is predictable, even to the point of the recycling of several catchphrases from other films (and I think 'the wife' was underutilised -- she could have made a brilliant Ripley-esque character), It was fast-enough and witty enough to make it worthwhile.
