Totally utterly mind numbingly awful.

Russell Brand is about as funny as a burning orphanage - quite why this gangly, massive faced idiot is popular is frankly beyond belief. I am led to believe his fans like the way he speaks in that mockney poetic nonsensical kind of way believing he has some kind of intellect.

Well yes I can understand if he speaks fast enough and uses x number of big words he is seemingly intelligent to the average sheep.

The film is a remake of an 80s film and also stars the endless bore that is Helen Mirren. The second 'queen' of england has the ability in any interview to talk a glass eye to sleep. She outright dismisses the original (normally the kiss of death) as 'boring' as alcoholism is not a funny subject. Anything is a funny subject - if its funny. Get it Helen? I seem to recall around the time the original was made Mrs Mirren was busy getting her kit off in every film she made so leave it out love.

Anyway stay well clear unless you are a fan of Brand in which case I am obviously a 'hater'. However the opinion of anyone who would use that word wouldn't really matter to me anyway.
