For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I was prepared to be totally charmed by this film, but my overall feeling is that it lacked something vital that I can't exactly put my finger on. The acting was marvelous, as is expected from the likes of David Tennant and Jessica Hynes, but I didn't feel like the movie reached the peak of either humor or emotion that it could have reached. That's not to say there were no excellent moments. Some scenes were very humorous, and it definitely proved that bad driving is amusing to watch. Ultimately, I think a main problem with the film was its length. At 90 or so minutes, it did not have adequate time to develop all of the characters and subplots properly. I think if it had been a full two hours it could have been much better. Overall, I found it mostly light and fun with few memorable moments.

So fantastically feel good, and that's quite beside the DT RAWR! factor. An absolutely fantastic show, that had me cheering at the end! No huge spoilers here Wonderful! Honestly, Jessica Hynes seemed a little shaky and caricature like at the beginning but she settled quickly and rapidly became likable, while Tennant's Chris, veered away from the religion bashing that some shows fall foul of. The police escort for the owl, and drinking Bailey's from a bell had me in stitches. Easy to watch and become involved in, perfect Sunday night telly. One I would buy to cheer myself up on black days. Tennant and Hynes bounce off each other perfectly once again!
