For me, there's one key factor that makes a film a five star and not a four, and that's weather I’ll go out and buy it on DVD after seeing it at the cinema

Now I’m sure you'll note the date I’m writing this and given that I saw this film nothing short of 60 days ago says an awful lot about it. The film was brilliant in every aspect, from the casting, directing, right to the parts that make this film a comedy.

This is a film I could watch at any time of day and over and over again. When me and a friend came to watch a film having seen Run, Fatboy, Run the previous week, we did actually contemplate watching it again as there was not much else worth watching and because this film was fantastic. It will be one I’ll purchasing on DVD (don't be a knock-off-Nigel lol)

..and if you haven't seen it already than you certainly should!

I went to see this for my friends bday, and some others had said it wasn't that good. However, after watching Hot Fuzz, i was quite sure that this film was going to be really funny. And it met my expectations. It more than met them. It blew them away!

Even from the title of this film, I had a overcoming urge to go see it, as many of my companions refer to me as a fatty boy.
So, this film was a must see.
At first, I was quite disappointed in the film as there didn't seem to be anyone with weight issues.
But after half an hour or so, I was hooked as I watched Pegg's desperate struggle in love and in fitness.
Although extremely contrasting to his other films such as Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, it was a gallon of laughs; I was sitting in the cinema enjoying the film and literally laughing at a joke a minute. Although I did get some strange looks, I thoroughly enjoyed my private giggle whilst hanging off the edge of my seat!
I was so hooked I stayed and watched the end credits, how marvellous!
This film is certain not to disappoint any of its viewers, with an ending that is guaranteed to reach out and touch the face of any of its viewers.
A certain 5 star rating...Jolly good film lads!
