Not Funny .. Huge Disappointment

The reason I watched this movie is because of the actors, Robert Webb and David Mitchell. I heard of many rave reviews about these two actors in their show, Peep Show, so I gave this movie a try.

Man, I was so disappointed. I really thought that the show is gonna make me laugh, but it didn't. Somehow, something went utterly wrong with the movie. The jokes is far in between and the jokes is very hard to understand, too. Maybe it is because of the British jokes. Man, I really don't know.

I expect a lot more from Webb and Mitchell, and a lot more from the character development of their character.

Goofs
When Harry Kane is flying back to London from Jersey the aircraft on the runway is a Flybe Dash 8 Q400 which does fly that route. The interior in the next shot however is filmed in a much larger aircraft with 6 seats across (the Q400 has 4 across) and while he is having his panic attack Harry refers to the oxygen masks in the safety briefing which the Q400 doesn't have.

Quotes
Mike Francis: [a Veteran Magician has put out a cigarette on his tongue and swallowed it] Yes, very good, thankyou.
[Aside]
Mike Francis: You know, there's no technique to any of that. He just takes the pain. Sick bastard.
