Movie Reviews

• this is one of those comedies where, actually, nothing very funny happens

  by Stella Papamichael [Digital Spy ]

• the film gets increasingly frantic and unsatisfying towards the end

  by Matthew Turner [ViewLondon ]

• the dialogue is shrill, the emotional moments are foghorned with deafening musical cues, and every scene is lit like an advert for orange juice

  by Robbie Collin [Daily Telegraph ]

• stands as not just an utterly tepid comedy, but possibly the most lifeless film in Frears' generally acclaimed oeuvre

  Review rate : D by William Goss [Film.com ]

• particularly disappointing given the names involved, it's only mildly amusing at best, and more often downright tedious

  by Angie Errigo [Empire Magazine ]

• garbled and unsatisfying story about gambling

  by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian ]

• delivers a disappointing hand

  by Justin Chang [Variety ]
