    I really want to dislike Ricky Gervais but actually he's pretty good at what he does. There's a 'post alternative' aspect of British comedy that Brent (and Gervais more generally) bandwagons. The alternative comedy scene of the 80s was an alternative to the racist, homophobic, mysoginist "jokes" that preceded it. The right on, politically correct alternative comedy of the 80s and 90s has been partly circumvented by the racist-but-its-ok-because-he's-wrong viewpoint, highlighted in the utterly crass Little Britain (nothing to do with Gervaise BTW). This is ideal for fans of the office and the music could actually be quite good if it wasn't turned into something that makes you squirm (that's what makes it funny) by Brents lyrics. I think this film, although nowhere near as good as The Office, benefits you if you've have had the office experience to appreciate Brent. Alternativly it could save you watching two series of the office. Both hint at a deeper meaning to life (6/10)

How to Murder Your Wife

Stanley Ford leads an idyllic bachelor life. He is a nationally syndicated cartoonist whose Bash Brannigan series provides him with a luxury townhouse and a full-time valet, Charles. When he wakes up the morning after the night before - he had attended a friend's stag party - he finds that he is married to the very beautiful woman who popped out of the cake - and who doesn't speak a word of English. Despite his initial protestations, he comes to like married life and even changes his cartoon character from a super spy to a somewhat harried husband.
