Sporting the British cast that this film does I fail to see how it can be so bloody awful? Be certain that it is! The acting, script, direction... In fact everything other than how Emily looks in this supposed comedy is dire.
Cliché ridden; nauseating set pieces; I cared not for any character, in fact I wish Dixon had killed the bloody lot of them and then turned the gun upon him self.
Nighy has appeared in some turgid British films in his career, however I do like him as an actor. But this film does nothing but show him faxing in his performance. And as for Emily Blunt? The last film I saw her in was Queen Victoria, and what a fabulous performance and movie that is. Her turn in The Devil Wears Prada proves that she can deliver a more than adequate comedy performance, so what happened here?
Direction, probably?
A waste of my precious time thus life, avoid this crap like your life depends upon it.
