Disclaimer.
I watched this movie "happy high", i may even have had a beer or 2 extra under the influence of the rampant alcoholism in this movie, and as such my experience from this movie was much better than my rating suggests but i have scaled it down by knocking of a point, in dedication to sobriety.
I recommend watching this movie with lots of beer and a few guys, this should push this movie into epic zone.
The combination of the British accents, absolute lack of political correctness (minorities in the English country side, i think not, PG-13 rating *&^% that), and content that only those who Don't have access to big studio money and demographics can put in their movies, Make for a truly Different and Refreshing movie experience.
It isn't a teen comedy,sex comedy or rom-com, is about a bunch of guys, in a mid life crisis, getting drunk, and that's exactly the kind of portrayal that this movie depicts, profanity et-all.
There's a well documented twist, that borders on predictable depending on how many movies you've seen (i get them always, Yes!! im humble).
Where this movie goes wrong is
1)The premise takes a back seat, despite remaining integral to the script even after the twist. This caused me to become less attached to quest and its finale.
2) The movie has constant feeling of deja-vu, there's really no epic scene, and the ending lacks the feel good factor that you come to expect from a movie like this, the ending as we 30 yr old internet generation call it is just blah.
What it does have is excellent acting, an ensemble cast by British standards,its great technically (refreshing to see animatronics). Lots of good recurring themes and jokes (love the dead mum track, and andy's sister).
Sorry for stating the obvious but this movie isn't for everybody, you have to be a lover of crude irrelevant comedies to like (or even love if its the right setting) this one.
