CGiii Comment

Matt Lucas has no shame whatsoever - parading around the entire film in a pair of ill-fitting, expansive white undies.

What starts off as a Little-Britain-with-a-bigger-budget slowly evolves into a championing of the underdog...a multi-layered feast of irreverence, irrelevance and bitter-sweet tragic comedy...and, it works a treat, Lucas is perfection.

It may be a little too off the hook for mass consumption - but, for those that want something a little less clinical - you will do no better than spending time with this unsung marvel.
