I've heard a lot of people say this movie is peak British humor, but I'm not sure that's true. It felt like peak human humor. The comedic writing and performances translate so well across the pond I can see why the film was remade in America just three years later. The whole comedic ensemble hung together so well, but I have to give special mention to Alan Tudyk's performance, that man playing a normal guy on a drug trip for the entire film had me laugh out loud every time he was on screen.
I had seen this movie a couple years ago and remember really enjoying it, but I had genuinely forgotten there was a bit of drama to the story. I appreciate what the film tried to do, but I think with such a large (and hilarious!) cast, the family drama following Matthew Macfayden and his relationship with his brother and dead father didn't land for me quite as well as the comedy did. However-this movie is so fun and I highly recommend you take some time and watch it.
