NANCY, (comment above), who says I was in the UK when I watched this film? You assume a lot. Also... what was that about your financial situation and water your plants? Pardon me for expecting a comedy film to give me at least ONE laugh. That's actually what they are supposed to do!
+Yeah the 'water plants' thing... I got the sarcasm, but what I'm saying is why is it unusual for me to wonder why a comedy film failed to make me laugh once. I'm a guy that loves to joke and I have a great sense of humor. I am intelligent enough to know a good joke when I see it and was quite frankly 'blinded' in that sense by this film and it's lousy script & direction. ____________________________________________________________________
For being a low budget movie, one doesn't expect the thrills and spills of the typical mainstream family comedies out there. A friend of mine recommended this as a great movie in which he 'laughed the whole way through.' I decided to check it out for myself. Optimistically, I sat down looking forward to a classic, but after 40 minutes of slow paced bad acting my patience was starting to grow thin. I thought the blue suit idea had a lot of potential and would take the main character on all sorts of wild adventures with all kinds of characters, however many dragged out boring scenes of the same characters (mad woman driving past in Ford Capri trying to run him over), which were unfunny in the first place consumed a fair proportion of this God-awful movie instead. This left me really frustrated and I've lost count of how many times I had to sit up to stop myself from falling asleep.
For the entirety I gave the movie a chance to get better, but it never did pick up. For being a comedy movie I was shocked,... I did not laugh once, nor did I find anything funny about the film. The storyline was boring (Father goes off to Iraq and brother takes care of his kids and his wife gets him a job, because she is fed up with him) and the acting was atrocious.
I highly recommend you stay away from this one. The other comments here seriously confuse me, because it was probably the worst film I have ever seen and I only gave it 1 out of 10, because IMDb does not offer the '0/10' option. Honest to God there was not one thing I could say I mildly enjoyed about this film, except for when the credits appeared and I knew that this nightmare was finally over.
STAY CLEAR.
P.S. I am normally generous in rating movies. I begrudge giving this 1/10, because even 0.1/10 is too kind in my opinion. Coming soon to a supermarket bargain bin near you!
