the leading man is my tpye

Very disappointed :(

A different way of telling a story

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

What can I say - I LOVED IT!!! I tell you that has got to be one of the best feel-good movies I've seen this year. Acting - Great. Dialoge - Great. I couldn't think of a better ending. ( I'm chuckling just thinking about it while I type). I think that it is a must see for Veronika fans, a should see for others. PS there is a bit of nudity, but only about as much as an issue of Playboy - no graphic/raunchy sex. As you watch this show you will realize that you have probably been in the main character's shoes many times too often in your own life. I would love to mention some of the extremely funny scenes, but would hate to ruin the show for anyone else.

Sorry to have to point out to you here, but last time I saw Ed Byrne he was still Irish. Having said that, I will have to see this film as it looks like a bit of a laugh. Hope its better than "The Cassidy's", an absolute train wreck of a sitcom that Ed did a couple of years back for RTE, watered down waste of talent that was. Anyway, I believe Ralph little is also in this film, usually does fairly funny stuff. I saw this DVD in the video shop the other day, as two 13year lads were snickering as they went to rent it, I'm sure they were disappointed to find that there is no porn in this what so ever, hope they had a laugh though.

Ed Burn plays John Davies a midlife crisis ridden OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) writer,who's partner Suki has left along with the bulk of his possessions.With an horror film script rewrite to finish and new found job of writing plot lines for a prime time soap,this new found pressure makes him suffer even more neurosis than normal leading him to become even more compulsive over a lads magazine super model he wants to cast in his film as the token none speaking movie boob shot.All this while he's to deal with his friends,psychiatrist and his two imaginary finger friends (played by comedy duo Vic & Bob).I personally loved this film its small but there in lies its beauty,in some areas it felt a little too like a sitcom but never for long enough to become stale.Ed Burn (thankfully not wasting his talents on lame pointless advert/clips television shows) proves to come across charming even among all his neurosis and becomes one of the few British stand-ups to prove he can act and hold a film,which when alongside other stand-ups like Steve Coogan & Lee Evens who became big on TV but who have both made dire moves onto the bigger screen.I gave this an 8 out of 10 would of been higher if the ending wasn't so clearly rushed.That said its worthy nights entertainment congrats to Ed on doing what so many before him have failed at.

If most of Ed Byrne's work is superior to this, as another commenter has suggested, I need to start digging up his performances. I found this to be a very funny movie and the audience I was with had at least a dozen group explosions of laughter. I found the humor to be similar to that of the "Friends" TV show, if that show had been R-Rated. I think the effectiveness of the film derives from the fact that so many characters and situations are recognizable from ordinary life as lived by the rest of us. Then the film takes just that extra step or two toward absurdity that makes you appreciate the inherent absurdity in the "ordinary" situation it grew out of. The impromptu jig John dances as he's listening to a voice mail message from someone he's taken revenge on will lift your spirits. How I wish I could dance that step. ***Spoiler Alert*** You should not go to this movie expecting to see Veronika Zemanova acting. John Davies' obsession with her is limited to downloading and printing various clothed and unclothed photos of her from the internet and decorating his apartment with them. He's right though in saying of Georgina Chapman that "if you squint just right. . .".
