    This movie is so fucking boring.

    I love the part between 14:13 and 16:00, when this review basically turns into The Co-Host Show (yay!). Not only do we get a funny Bill Nighy impression, but he makes also Leon laugh his ass off -- not once, but twice. Awesome.

    There is something about quaint British comedies that seem to grab my attention. This one is going on my rental list, mainly because my mummy simply adores this sort of thing. I seem to be cliche joke allergic, as well, so maybe the hairs on the back of my neck won't stand up. Hopefully.

    I saw this in the UK where it first came out, and I must say, I found this much more tolerable that you guys did.

    I adored the colourful vision of India, I liked the characters and enjoyed following their stories, I genuinely laughed at most of the jokes. I actually preferred Dev Patel in this film than in 'Slumdog Millionaire', because in 'Slumdog' I found his performance quite wooden and semi-dimensional, whilst in this film he had a lot more personality and ability to exuberate.

    Cyrus, you called this 'tripe material' near the end of the review. Let me tell you, this material's nowhere near as bad as 'Baby’s Day Out', which I described as tripe material.

    I gave this film a nice Matinee, as although it wasn't groundbreaking, treasonable or memorable, I thought it was a gentle and enjoyable film for older generations of which I feel are a rather lost niche in Hollywood.

    Great review. Co-host had Leon cracking up for 2 minutes straight.

    This will beat The Avengers at the box office.

    Apparently this movie has made over 70 million, but I'm not surprised at all. I went to see Cabin In The Woods last week in the morning and I didn't see a single person under the age of 60 in the 20 screen megaplex.

    yay.

    I remember when I saw the trailer for this movie I actually went "Oh that looks kind of nice, I might go see that... what else is coming out that weekend?... Oh, never mind."
