MASSIVE DISCLAIMER
I watched this while doing a few other things at once. Normally this wouldn't matter, despite my penis I am quite able to multitask. However, in the case of this film it was an error. There was so much going on, it needed my full attention.
However, I would make this point. On the cover it says this is 'The Smash Hit Comedy of the Year'. I didn't think this was a comedy at all, but that isn't my point this time. Frankly, I hadn't heard of this film before it was recommended to me, so I thought I'd check to see what year it was released.
2008.
Now I'm the first to admit, my film knowledge is poor at best, so I thought I'd do a bit of research and see how successful it was. According to this site, it was the 187th most successful film of the year, behind such classic comedies as Run Fat Boy Run, The Love Guru and Drillbit Taylor. Smash Hit indeed.
Obviously total gross isn't the way to decide if a film is any good or not, but it does prove that stickers are lying bastards.
Anyway, as a brief summing up as to why I found this film so hard to follow, because not only do the characters age massively during the course of the film but the main character is also staging a play about his life, so the main characters all have 2 or 3 actors playing them, who all look very similar to each other.
Basically, I'm going to have to give it a proper watch.
