No matter how hard I try to broaden my horizons, I keep coming back to film reviews don't I? I decided to review this film after seeing it a few months ago, just because I was so impressed with it. But sadly, after I'd written it, I found out Ciao didn't have it on their list of products, so I had to wait until now to publish it. This film was very rare in that it made me laugh even in the trailer, which hardly ever happens. As soon as I saw the ... Read review

Advantages: Macho guy film and chick-flick rolled into one.
Disadvantages: Not for the modest or if you're easily offended by swearing!

I've reviewed this film on some other sites as well, but it's only because I count this as my favourite film this year - so if I have a tendency to repeat myself in cyberspace, it's only because I love this film to bits. I'm not the sort of reviewer who gives away all the punch lines and endings to films, so bear with me if I'm deliberately vague. It's not just the laughs that will make this film stay in my memory for years to come. (Although ... Read review
