Sex Lives of the Potato Men
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2004 4:09 pm
This is the new Johnny Vegas film
4 potato delivery men pursue sex with renewed vigour after their divorces/separation
PROS
- it's got the period feel of the 70's confessions films
Cons
- even though it's meant to be modern day
- immensely unfunny on every front
- running joke about jam and fish is squirm inducingly unpleasant and unfunny.
VERDICT
This is without doubt one of the worst British films I think I have ever had to endure sitting through. A laugh free alleged sex comedy. WTF made the comic talents of Johnny Vegas, Mackenzie Crook (The Office) and Mark Gatiss (League of Gentlemen) take part in this is beyond comprehension. And if you watch BBC's 'Working Lunch' each day you'll even see the presenter Adrian Chiles as the host of an orgy in it! Kate Robbins playing a sex starved housewife looks like Teresa May in 10 years time - if that's your thing! Sort of film that you think is hilarious when you're 12 having never had any sexual experience before. This is the sort of film that sets the british film industry back 30 years.
Awful !Awful !Awful!
And in case you're wondering, No, I did not like this film one bit!
