When I see movie like this and I think how many Van Damme movies I've seen... it sort of makes me think I'm not as smart as I thought.

:)

Anyway, when you've had enough of the typical american movie, see this.

Being a big Martin Clunes fan anyway, it was inevitable that I was going to enjoy this programme. The thing that amazed me was how much I enjoyed it! A TFI Friday/OTT Cable show. The host, insomniac Ben Black, the producer, hassled ex wife Stella, the stalker magician Fandango & the Jeremy Beadlesque character played by Martin Jarvis all come together & interact perfectly, making this one of the funniest & darkest comedies I have ever seen. Bens awful childhood (poor little orphan Ben) & his impending divorce, the fact that he hasn't slept properly for weeks due to the heat wave & his supermodel girlfriend Sophie has just dumped him (by telling the newspapers before him!) all spiral into events that could result in his suicide or get him more viewing figures than ever before. 5 years on this is still something I Watch at least every couple of months, it's still as fresh & as compelling as when first shown on TV & I would like to congratulate the writers on that. More shows like this please!

I only mention I'm an American, because this is clearly a movie made with Brits in mind. So, I can tell you I was surprised I liked it so much, and it's obvious there is a bigger cultural difference between the U.S. and the U.K. than I ever thought before. Clunes is a great actor, and he's awesome in this movie. I have liked him ever since I discovered British Men Behaving Badly. The story itself is just odd...very very odd...but it's very entertaining, with a nice mix of comedy and drama. The format of the story is very unusual, from what I have ever seen in the past, atleast. But, as I said, it all works out very nicely. Nicely done all the way around. 8/10
