I managed a whole hour, but it felt much longer. Pity he didn't get his pal, Arthur Smith involved!. This steaming pile, however, is didacticism at its worst. Tony Hawks' comedy is minutely observational, and can be cripplingly funny (see his website), so you would imagine he'd be a gifted scriptwriter. I've (obviously) read the book, and loved it! This tries much too hard to be funny, and as a result, falls flat. This film missed the genuine sparkle contained within the book, which was a silly story about a silly person doing something silly. Tripe, drivel, rubbish, crap, dross, whatever you call it, it's still the same thing.
