A Disappointing Continuation

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Blistering performances.

I must say this movie surprised me. It's beautiful and made me fall in love with the 70's again. An amazing sense of humour and an enjoyable soundtrack. With characters trying to do everything to avoid ending up their lives the way everyone wants them to. I highly recommend this movie. You should always dare to do what you feel you have to do.It's not my fault, I'm inspired.

I don't really know Gervais' work, so I didn't really have any expectations. I also can't comment on the cultural aspects, so I watched it just as a story.The problem was that it was marketed as a comedy. When I watched it as such, I didn't like it at all. Can't say it particularly made me laugh. But I absolutely loved the last third, I just love such emotional scenes. (Even if it's clichéd, as some reviewers complained the film often is, if it's done well, it doesn't matter.) So I went back and watched it again immediately, this time as a drama, and I liked it way better.The cut glass bowl scene literally made my mouth fall open, it was so brilliantly done, and I found Bruce's opening of the two bottles so moving it gave me the shivers. Definitely not a comedy, and I will definitely watch it again.

the film some hows borrows the same characters that we have witnessed since a long time in films like lemon Popsicle or American pie etc except that this is no sex comedy as a matter of fact i was pleasantly surprised with the maturity the film was handled. all the three guys were beautifully chosen for the part. they look the part. i quite enjoyed the film it was beautifully shot with some good performances but what i really loved was the writing,the humor was kick ass in the film ... the dialogues were really funny .. the writing team please take a bow my only problem was the story it was kinda same that we have heard or seen earlier but the treatment was different.... but had fun watching the film ...

I loved this film from start to finish. An absolute pleasure to watch! Quick and witty dialogue, feel-good story line and painfully funny, equip with fantastic characters! Not surprisingly brilliantly written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant! An absolute delight, Ricky and Steven should be very proud of this masterpiece.I couldn't get over how good the plot was, and how well written! The musical selection was equally fantastic, really setting the tone of the film well. Also a surprising movie, not only spectacularly hilarious, but sometimes heart wrenchingly touching.Young stars are budding, real talent has been discovered through the making of this film. Particularly by the young Tom Hughes who I thought was phenomenal in this role! Also good performance from Christian Cooke, Filicity Jones, Ralph Finnes and of course Ricky Gervais! Feel-good comedy, fresh, witty and extremely funny, written to perfection! Highly recommended!
