The Martins (2001)
1/10
All time low for British cinema?
1 August 2005
No redeeming features, without doubt the worst film I have seen this year.

I find it hard to put my finger on exactly what makes it so bad. I guess the overall premise of the film is pretty dire to begin with; "Black comedy about a scrounger who decides to steal the tickets for an all-expenses-paid trip to the Isle of Man when he fails to win the holiday sweepstakes." - hardly inspiring stuff.

It's badly written, you can't empathise with any of the characters as they are universally hideous. You can't laugh at it, as none of the attempted jokes (if you can even spot them) are funny.

Other people on here seem to find the film funny. I guess it's a matter of taste, but if you aren't enjoying this film after 10 minutes, don't waste your time, it doesn't get any better. Go and do something else instead.
