Acclaim

Cracking, joyful and instructive, the film is certain to be the summer’s funniest film. Appignanesi jumps, in one beautifully executed move, to join the front rank of new British directors. His timing is perfect, his feel for the rhythm of moral action is bracing, and I hope he goes on to make a ton of interesting movies." —Andrew O’Hagan, THE EVENING STANDARD

"Startlingly, for this second project, [Appignanesi] shifts gear for something more confrontational and taboo-busting... a broad comedy that gleefully and repeatedly stamps on the tender toes of liberal correctness." —Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN

"Baddiel's script is well served by an excellent cast, and the director, Josh Appignanesi, whose only previous feature was a deadly serious look at an Orthodox Jewish family... has directed with a light touch." —Philip French, THE OBSERVER

"A terrific odd couple: there’s a real bromantic spark between Djalili and Schiff... a perfectly pitched buddy dynamic." —TIME OUT

"Great laughs in this sweet comedy…. Djalili is delightful." —THE NEW YORK TIMES

"It’s very funny; even metaphysical... Sight gags abound." —VARIETY

"The two leads make a terrific comic team, with Djalili’s deadpan style of physical humor perfectly complementing Schiff’s hilarious, fast-paced wisecracking." —HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
