I love Nick Frost and Simon Pegg when they work together and I like some of their individual work. I saw the trailer for this ages ago and was interested but it wasn't something that I immediately had to watch.
I'm kind of okay with not rushing out to see this.
That's not to say it's bad, it's not, but it's most definitely something that can be watched at home.
This is a light, fluffy film with heart. It's a well-written story that manages to keep you interested even though it is predictable. There are jokes all the way through but I didn't laugh very much during the film.
Chris O'Dowd's character of Drew was probably the worst thing about the whole movie. All his character did was make fat jokes which all seemed stupid and like the same joke but just worded differently.
Other than O'Dowd, the other characters were entertaining to watch and likable, acted out by some good actors like Frost, Rashida Jones, Ian McShane and Rory Kinner.
I think the stand out of the whole film were the scenes and the relationship between Bruce (Frost) and his sister, Sam (Olivia Colman). They were just heartwarming and funny and I most definitely think the film would have been less without it!
An enjoyable, feel good film that is worth a watch at least once!
