“This will wipe the smile off your face!” cackles Harry Hill’s evil twin (Matt Lucas) in a throwaway vehicle for the bespectacled comedian that spends 88 surreally unfunny minutes doing precisely that.

Awash with silliness – gun-toting chickens, performing Dachshunds, Jim Broadbent in charlady drag – yet weirdly bereft of mirth, it’s a rag-bag of skits, parodies and half-hearted gross-out whose plot – Harry heads to Blackpool to save his hamster – is barely that.

Director Steve Bendelack previously gave us Mr Bean’s Holiday and The League Of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse. Like those films, this is another TV-to-cinema leap where bigger really doesn’t mean better.

The first paragraph is telling me about how the film made him fell by using a quote from the movie which gives the impression of the movie being silly and childish.

The second paragraph tells me about the attempts they made to make the movie funny for most of it, there’s only a couple of words of the actual plot line telling that this movie was just a mash-up of skits instead of having a decent story line.

I the final paragraph the reviewer tells me about the director and about his reputation for making not very good silly and childish movies and the reviewer refers to this film to be like them; calling it a TV-to-cinema which fails miserably.
