With a few exceptions, British films of the past few years seem to have forgotten about the audience. Here's a new Brit flick that doesn't try to be gritty, ultra-violent, clever or just a showcase for film-makers who are more concerned with a stylistic wish list, than actually caring about the punter that's given up his evening and a fair wedge of cash to watch their effort.
Smart, witty and often laugh-out-loud funny, here's a comedy that builds upon emotions that we can all relate to. It's set in the twilight world that only shift-workers ever see. Our characters not only inhabit it, but are striving to make friends and eke out some kind of love life in it too.
Problem is, how is a serial one-night stand merchant, a guy too scared to check if he still has a girlfriend, a bloke with 'porno reactions' and a girl who has long since lost any daytime friends, ever going to find success? These social 'misfits' become increasingly endearing as their separate attempts to carve out romance all intertwine into a hilarious finish that's an absolute delight.
Short, snappy and a film with characters that you soon yearn to watch again, this is a smart Brit comedy that's a must-see.
