    I, meanwhile, found myself moved by the final shot...but otherwise underwhelmed.

    The characters are barely sketched in at all, the pacing is wildly off--it's an 85-minute movie that feels like it lasts forever, even as it doesn't have enough time to properly service any important parts of the story--and the only sparks of life come whenever Weeks and Tom Bell (star and co-writer of the original "Leisure Class" short, and a former co-star of Weeks' on British television), as Weeks' less polished criminal brother, are simply bantering, and we know from the show that almost all of that was improvised.

    I watched all of "Project Greenlight" was very excited for this movie and it went way way way above and beyond expectations, the movie was so funny and enjoyable, the movie FELT SO REAL. a real family goes through the quirky brotherly situations and crazy family events that go on in this movie, but again the humor is so unique that I was soooo entertained, more movies need to do this such a good change of pace. Overall acting is amazing besides from a slight hiccup i think in the first 30 seconds of the film, but after that amazing.. All in all I really cant say enough about how i truly enjoyed the movie for the unique humor and flow of the storytelling. Also, I am REALLY HAPPY they put in the Fiona on the steps scene to clarify and then at the end it leaves you with the hmmmm feeling. In conclusion, the movie is just very funny, witty, and again, very very enjoyable. MUST WATCH MOVIE//Overall score is 8.8    … Full Review »

What we get, here, is something that perfectly matches the directors' sense of style and vision, but a film that doesn't really work. It is, at times, painfully unfunny. I can't say I really cared about the characters, either. Not sure what they're going for here, but it doesn't work.… Full Review »

It seemed like the opportunity for a good movie was there, but it just never came together. I only laughed once.… Full Review »
