I loved this film, I was worried that it was going to be 'Family Guy in real life' but it wasn't - it did verge on it very occasionally, but it kept to its own path.

The premise of the film is simple, the story easy to follow, and that's why it works. The jokes are hilarious, the comedy unbelievably candid, the idea of utilising a children's teddy bear that has 'grown up' (but not grown up) with the main character is a touch of genius.

I laughed, and laughed through this, and it separates out true comedy lovers from the easily offended (just like Family Guy in effect). I can think of no way to improve this film, except replacing Mark's annoying accent (which sounds like a speech impediment at times).

I can't wait to see an uncut or extras version be made available, and this is one of the rare films I will actually bother to purchase.

Top Score (which again is rare from me), well, well done!

well, I saw batman last night and was rather underwhelmed really. despite having a natural dislike of Bales batman, I had high hopes for Nolans direction. I won't give away any spoilers, the trailers pretty much encapsulate the rather two dimensional plot entirely. Anne Hathaway was good, played her role better than any predecessor. I was hoping for a film with batman (after struggling to 'become' batman in the previous two films) would fulfil a more alpha role. tom hardy was better than expected, but I really did struggle to understand him sometimes. his character is supposed to be a tactical genius, as well as a superb fighter, and this didn't really come across. finally, you end up not caring about most of the cast as they are all 'damaged' and selfish. but most of all, batman seems rather desperate, and seemed to have shut down that big brain of his. not a spoiler - but there is also one scene that emulates perfectly all those YouTube Mick takes too, I actually laughed out loud as it were. the film wallows through its three long hours, I would cut it to two and a half. actually, the more I think about it, I realise there wasn't that much I enjoyed in the film! ah well, it didn't measure up to avengers or Prometheus, but it was better than the second bale batman offering (but not as good as the first - which was 'ok').
