    • Trivia
      This was filmed at Gatwick Airport in the south terminal while it was closed during the Covid-19 pandemic and some of the security staff were asked to be extras and I was one of them, although didn't make it into the film unfortunately.
    • Goofs
      As the group are boarding the plane, there is a shot of the exterior of the plane. It clearly has its engine covers on and is not prepared for flight.
    • Quotes

      Edward: You use statistics much like a drunk uses a lamp post.

      Charles: Excuse me?

      Edward: For support, rather than illumination.

    This movie is a SCAM!!!!

    A guy here in the reviews that said the movie is funny and great is probably drunk, really.

    Its one of the most or THE MOST dumbest movie i have ever seen in my life, I swear!!!

    Its definately not a comedy movie, this movie is a HUGE SCAM, shouldnt be in the cinema at all!

    70% of the people that were watching it in the cinema with me just left in the middle, really. Such a cringe and boring movie... If i could rate it 0, I would do that.

    Wish i could get my money back :/

    Do yourself and your pocket a favor and dont watch it Do yourself and your pocket a favor and dont watch it Just dont!!!
