Another Comic Strip outing that's light on laughs and heavier on story telling. This one center's around a guy named Gino, who's on the run from the police (for an unspecified reason) and basically the whole film is just following him on the run, occasionally getting into slightly daft situations.
Honestly? I found this one a bit dull. The closest I came to laughing was Lionel Jeffrey's doing his best Peter Cook impersonation as an elderly taxi cab driver...but that was unfortunately short lived.
Keith Allen seems to think that being Keith Allen in a funny situation is enough to make comedy happen (spoilers: it isnt) no matter how hard he tries to make wearing a flat cap look silly...
All the main players barring Jennifer Saunders are pushed into supporting roles here, non of which are interesting of likeable.
As a piece of comedy, I've been to funnier wakes. As a piece of television or as a short film. It's to standard. But it's not one I'll revisit in a hurry.
