Featured review
Not as bad as some would have you believe, yet nowhere near a masterpiece, this vulgar (in the best sense of the word) sex comedy is a fitfully amusing trawl through the fantasies, fulfilled or otherwise, of a small group of delivery drivers. Interesting because of the strength of the cast, all of whom have done better in other comedies. Yet despite the weak direction and obvious budget constraints, they still do pretty well. Mackenzie Crook's character is perhaps most interesting as it is very close to the character he would present, much more fully rounded and developed, in "Detectorists". The seeds are present here, they just haven't sprouted. Hard to understand the vitriol thrown at this movie, it's certainly not pornographic, not even soft core, and the scatological jokes are simply typical of the type. While wishing it could have been better, I still found myself smiling.

- Quotes
Jeremy: [Reading the letter he has just written Ruth in his head] Like a leaf falling from a tree, I fell for you. Gradual. Then suddenly. My insides melt. Your eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth. Everything leading to now. In the lake, my shattered reflection. The million pieces of heartbreak. Be still, then, passion. She has turned away, like the winter. My hibernating love. As it warms, the clear shafts of sunlight penetrate your moist fanny with my stiff, meaty love-rocket.
Jeremy: [gasps] Fucking bitch!
