About

You might like this if you enjoy offbeat British comedy, mockumentary-style awkwardness, and gentle character humor in the vein of Starstruck or This Way Up; Not for you if you want big laughs or a fast-moving story.

Pros: quirky dry humor; heartwarming family journey; memorable oddball characters | Cons: hit-or-miss comedy; too silly for some; slow at times
