I really wasn't interested in this when it first appeared. But after having first watched the 'behind the scenes' episodes I fell in love with the characters.

Much of the humour is actually amazingly subtle for such young comedians. Some scenes did just miss the mark. But either was it is definitely the kind of show that has to grow on you.

In the end it also produced some moments of comedic poignancy that have only been matched by some of the greats (Only Fools and Horses, The Fast Show). It's a shame C4 didn't give it more support for a further series.

this isn't the slickest presentation or the most engrossing given the quality of Docu-Ffilms currently available. However the message is so well explained and so important that it should be a mandatory part of secondary school education.

This film presents the modern day corporation as a psyche with serious conditions. Notably, it explains how it is possible for corporations to do such terrible acts while individuals in them may be moral beings. in other words in the case of corporations the ethical whole is far less than ethical parts.

A definite must see!

Really, I think it would be difficult to create an entirely random edit of this film which was much worse.

Throughout, a cast of reasonable comic actors deliver lines in a deadpan style similar to that of 40 year old virgin or Dodgeball. However, not one of these lines hit the target. The pregnant pauses usually designed to balance an absurdity become awkward silences.

Characters make sudden change of heart decisions which are entirely irrational, even within a comic framework. Christina Applegate's 'Veronica' is entirely inconsistent and cannot decide if she is a new woman or old bimbo.

Somebody gave up on this movie early on and raced to get it out of the way. Sadly even the cameo appearances of some notable actors fail to provide more than momentary interest.

Sorry to be so harsh, but just don't bother.
