Anthony O'Malley (Caine) convinces young colleague and castmate Tom (Dylan Moran) to hone his craft by pretending to be someone he isn't in real life. Tony suggests that they rip off gangster Barreller (Michael Gambon). All goes according to plan, until Barreller's daughter Dolores (Lena Headey) falls in love with Tom, who is disguised as his sister's boyfriend Clive (Ben Miller). Miranda Richardson rounds out the cast as a London crime boss. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Mark Adams, Hollywood Reporter
Enjoyable lightweight entertainment and marks stand-up comedian Dylan Moran as an endearing talent to watch.

Nev Pierce, BBC
Yes, it's all rather silly. But it's also all rather fun.
