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.

When a clumsy deadbeat accidentally kills his landlord, he must do everything in his power to hide the body, only to find the distractions of lust, the death of his beloved brother and a crew of misfit characters, force him on a journey where a fortune awaits him.
