User Review

Laugh out loud brilliance

Rating: 9/10


Just picked this up on DVD and was really pleasantly surprised by how
imaginative and funny it was. I really liked all the characters and
their relationships with each other and the way human story really
shone through the humour.

I especially loved how the large cast really melded well together and
bounced off each other. This was aided by some hilarious cameos that I
did not expect but really liked. As a lover of comedies in a similar
vein i really thinks it stands up with films like Hitch and The
Hangover.

All in all i really enjoyed the film and felt it was one of my
favourite comedies of 2011. i think it is a great example of tight
streamlined filmmaking and i look forward to seeing more of the cast in
the future. 9/10
