MCT:July 27, 2008So easily one of my favourite comedies- clumsy but totally hilarious, with a fun plot following probation officer Simon Garden who witnesses murder and is framed for it. Desperate to clear his name, Garden rounds up the only four criminals he has ever managed to rehabilitate and persuades them to help him to rob a bank and break into the vault which contains the only proof of his innocence. There is so little not to like about this movie, the characters are wonderful, the script is painfully funny and Steve Coogan is a subtle comedic genius heading a great cast. I'm not really sure why it's been kind of forgotten about in recent years, because for me, it just gets better and better with each viewing. Brilliant brilliant film...

Such a funny film and one of Steve Coogan's good films. Steve Coogan plays loveable loser Simon Garden who is rubbish at his job as a parole officer.

At first I thougn 'Ew... thats so boring' and when the film started it seemed to be clear to me : That is one of the most boring and worst films I had seen so far. But then *bam* in the middle of the film it all turned and it became even FUNNY *OMG* xD and suddenly it was a good British comedy and I enjoyed watching the rest of the film.

MCT:August 3, 2007Steve Coogan plays loveable loser Simon Garden who is rubbish at his job as a parole officer. Set up by police Inspector Burton, he must try to clear his name and prove Burton guilty of murder with the help of his former clients. Sooooo funny!
