I love the people complaining that they are making money out of a Tragedy. Nobody complained when James Cameron did it!!!

Or Oliver Stone and Paul Greengrass

This looks fantastic!

I may even pay to go and watch it...!

Saw it today, very good.

The "is a wookie a bear" conversation had me in tears. Go see.

We went today too, a generally amusing film on the whole, lots of laugh out loud moments coupled with the shadow of an underlying message that doesn't intrude too much.

Recommended.

Have to agree with TheTapeworn and Croyde,

Went to see it last night and it has plenty of laugh out loud moments, althought i was a bit sceptical and thought i might have seen the funnier parts in the trailer

I think I'll laugh out loud a lot more at this film within the confines of my own home....when we went (last friday....at the 'vue' cinema cribbs causeway as it wasn't being shown elsewhere in Bristol or Swindon) myself and the OH found that we (and the rest of the audience) wanted to laugh, but not knowing whether it was ok to laugh so there was a kinda half laugh.....half funny, half gobsmacked. I though the "I told you it was a knee" bit was quite good. Chris Morris has clearly done a massive amount of research into this to pitch it just right....it is riiiiiiight on the edge. I wonder if he has an anti-government agenda or was using the government fumbling to make it a little more 'balanced'.

Saw this tonight, absolutely brilliant film, really well thought out I felt, and some great unexpected moments, Barry's part is brilliant,

after shunting his car: "This is real..." and the wookie conversation...i was laughing throughout most of the film,

Watched this last week.

Really good film with some proper laugh out loud moments. Also quite a few instances where it is actually quite dark catching you unaware.

Worth a watch.

Saw it last night, amazingly funny and well written.

Saw it on Wednesday at the cinema at Greenbridge, they had 2 showings at 8.30 this week and 2 sometime around lunch/mid afternoon.

Full of belly laughs and yes, the 'is a Wookie a bear' was definitely one of those moments.

Oh and the 'one sheep.....' bit in the credits is amusing

Just been hunting around for the PH reviews of this. Looks like a good film so I may pop and see it tomorrow with a friend.

From what everyone has said it has to be worth a watch.

After watching it again on film 4 the other night, The Wife is now pissed off at me for teaching my daughter "anti-surveillance".



Rubber-dinghy-rapids bro!

[Nom de ploom]

at times funny and tragically bitter sweet....

"he's a martyr..killed a sheep, disrupted the food supply"

"is he a martyr or a fking jalfrezi"

[onyx39]

The mrs refused to watch this on principle due to the subject matter, right up until she saw the trailer... Loved it!
