I would agree with the other reviewers that Ant & Dec are decent actors - they were decent enough in the unchallenging confines of "Byker Grove" - but their ubiquitous presence on British television has significantly reduced their dramatic credibility. Would you cast Cilla Black or Jonathan Ross in a movie? Exactly. This duo have morphed into television presenters and, sorry guys, there's no way back.
That apart, this movie is a mess - muddled tone, uncertain direction, a lower budget than most people's wedding videos - it's not much more than an over-extended sketch. Die-hard Ant & Dec fans may well find something about it to enjoy, but the rest of us (and the lads' agents, no doubt) will be begging the cheeky Geordie chappies to head back to the Australian jungle - and preferably stay there this time.
