They're really rather good, you know.

Vic and Bob are very funny. It may take you a while to understand this, but if you have a sense of humour you'll find i'm right. Oh yes. Most definitely.

This is not open to discussion.

I'm not giving this 10 as its a compilation and i don't like compilations. Chopping things into bits and pasting them together in a different order is a TERRIBLE thing to do. Get the whole proper thing instead. Compilations are cash in Christmas type things. Better still, watch 'Big Night Out' first, then 'The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer' Then shooting stars. The earlier series-es are PERHAPS a little bit hit and miss at times, but are Stronger, Like a well matured cheese the material is richer. Shooting Stars is perhaps a bit dilute. But there are moments of pure hilarity. I miss Vic and Bob on TV, its a pity Catterick was dubious.

no style no content

A note of reality to any film fan planning seeing this - its awful

It isn't cool, the dialogue is awful, there's way too many cameos, its awkwardly directed, it doesn't gel or flow, it (at best) mimics the style of martial arts films, it has no charm.

After an hour I ceased to take it in. it takes a really bad film to break my concentration, but I found myself thinking 'this is REALLY stupid' I mean DUMB. Its a big dumb film.

Now I did enjoy Tarantinos previous films, but this is just a big self-indulgent mess. Its obvious he has nothing to say anymore.

I honestly felt I'd wasted 2 hours. No emotional reaction apart from a resigned cry of 'pointless!'.
