Billed as a comedy , this fell flat from start to finish , you could count the laughs on one finger .
Such a shame with stars such as Nick Frost & Jessica Hynes of Spaced & Shaun of the dead fame
It had the low budget feeling of horrible history but lacked the comic genius
It's really difficult to find anything positive to say about this except that it's good to see an English film make a cinema appearance but I doubt if this will last til week 2
147 characters to fill so not sure what else I can say except that it's really not worth seeing especially if you pay for it , such a shame
New paragraph from the next day & still wondering what did I see ? I wish it had been as good as Horrible Histories as they get away with the low budget by making up with humour , it's been over 13 years since Gnomeo & Juliet which seemed ok but the laughs here were lacking
The casting was interesting and that in itself was similar to Brigerton by breaking the mould which is do often done in Shakespeare too & good to have two strong female lead characters & a number of mixed race roles which is refreshing , it's just sad it missed the comedy , I'd say it was a farce & not on a good way & relied far too much on bad language & taboo subjects such as excrement to tease out a laugh , the only funny scene & possibly a rare spoiler here was the disposing of one of the key witnesses which used repetitive action to capture a laugh but for the most part the audience was silent in the cinema where I saw it
I couldn't recommend this to anyone
Sorry cast & crew
Pad. A 3/10.
