Predictable but solid.

Everything that's going to happen seems very obvious but it's still nice to watch. They could have tried taking some risks with the plot. Eccleston's involvement not much more than a cameo but Wilkinson is just as accomplished an actor and the younger cast do a damn good job of it. It's very English though if you like that then you'll appreciate this. It's a damn sight better than Seat 25 anyway.

nice

A nice dark comedy for the performance of Tom Wilkinson, the make-up of Aneurin Barnard, between a character from univers of Tim Burton and for lovely portrait of. Penny by Marillon Bailey. Fair end, maybe too sweet and too expected , romance, jokes and decent story. Nothing memorable but just nice.

Superb for what it is

A pleasant dark comedy that will surprise you with uniqueness and excellent story telling. The moral of the movie isn't bad either. As long as you don't have high expectations, this will deliver.

It was actually enjoyable ..

On the trailer of the movie on youtube i saw some weird bad comments , so i was a bit hesitant ,, but the movie is not bad at all ,, it was really enjoyable ,, nice genuine plot ,, the comedy and humor were so followable.

Tom Wilkinson did an amazing job and loved seeing Christopher Eccleston as for the Welshman Aneurin Barnard, this is the first time i'm seeing him on the big screen and he did an absolute perfect job presenting that dark comedy and blend it with his original face expressions.

Hilarious black comedy (despite being derivative)

I can't understand all the terrible (external) reviews for this movie. I found it extremely funny, with excellent performances from the entire cast. The first hour seemed stronger than the last 30 minutes, but this is a common problem with films, so it didn't bother me too much.

If you like black comedies, like Harold and Maude, for example, this one is certainly worth a try.

Quotes
Harvey: Whoever heard of an assassin with a shaky hand? You don't see Michael J. Fox running around shooting people, do ya? And why not? 'Cause he'd be fucking terrible at it. No, Michael J. Fox sticks to raising money for his charity, doesn't even do much acting anymore which is a shame 'cause I'm a big fan of Michael J. Fox. Back to the Future. Secret of My Success.
Leslie: Stuart Little.
Harvey: Why mention that? Why bring that up?
Leslie: He's in it.
Harvey: Only the voice, only the fucking voice. Now, if you'd said Doc Hollywood, I'd agree with ya.
Leslie: Teen Wolf.
Harvey: Teen Wolf, exactly, but he doesn't do films anymore 'cause he knows he's not up to it, do you see what I'm saying?
Leslie: Not really.
