June 13, 2009With Pegg and Azaria in the spotlight this should have been good. I like tree frogs though

June 4, 2009The power went out so I missed the ending of this movie. It was so bad I really didn't even care.

March 7, 2009Aha, very cliche comedy and funny , some good characters and the actors fit. All well put together with a good backdrop and important English event . Made me laugh, made me cry, made me not want to quit and die...

January 20, 2009I love Simon Pegg! Really liked this movie, it was a lot more heartfelt than I expected, and I really liked that about this story. I loved the scenes with Dennis & his son. Mr. Goshdashtidar was hilarious! And I loved the cameo by certain Little Britainer ;)

November 20, 2009It's all been done before, I knew it'd be nothing original before I watched it, but it still proves to be quite a heart warming film.

Thanks to a jaunty Brit-rock score and likable characters all around, the movie's easy to watch and occasionally pumps up the emotions. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
This is not a film with blazingly original ideas or a groundbreaking script - I guessed the ending before the movie even started - but it has a sweet nature, an abundance of laughs and plenty of Pegg ... full review

Deserves credit for not working us over the way so many modern comedies too. It brings us to the finish line with energy to spare, instead of leaving us feeling sapped. full review
