About
You may like this if you enjoy fast, awkward British comedy with a tense setup and lots of quick jokes; Not for you if you want a very realistic story or dislike a character-driven comedy like I'm Alan Partridge.
Pros: quick-fire jokes; strong lead performance; sharp British humour | Cons: uneven pacing; story feels stretched; some jokes miss
