Mitchell & Webb have tried to take that final step from TV to movie fame like Simon Pegg, Ali G and Steve Coogan before them.
But they failed miserably. Having seen the trailer for this I thought it looked like a really good film but quite frankly your better off sticking with the trailer as the film is extremely dull.
The only real highlight for me was Jessica Stephenson playing the assistant (and looking fabulous too!).
Mitchell & Webb are funny in sketch format but they couldn't manage to translate that into a movie length format here.
The magic looks OK, some of the side characters are mildly amusing but the film falls far of being even semi-funny.
Die hard fans of the duo may enjoy this as may fans of Spaced but I really didn't like it.
