It's an ambitious project, taking on one of the greatest comedians and storytellers ever. They mostly get away with it - but woe, how short it is! Entire aspects of Dave Allen's career are either left out or glossed over. His relation with his brother, almost worth an entire film in itself, is pencilled out with broad strokes, only to come to life with one final banter that shows what the film could have been. Plenty of good Allen jokes, delivered as well as you can if you're not actually Dave Allen, and great acting efforts all over. But at the end of the day, it's little else than a fond reminder of who he was.
Go watch some of the clips of the real Dave Allen on the net instead. Discover the genius.
