Unusually funny - Mammuth review by JD
You may not find this funny at all, but if this is your sense of humour you'll love it. For example, his retirement party is utterly underwhelming, work colleagues standing eating crisps in silence. His supermarket trolley gets jammed between two cars in the car park. I found it heartwarmingly and pathetically real and poignant (except for some sillyness just to keep it from being too demoralising like a garden full of really ugly art). I suspect I will be in the minority for liking this, but I smiled all the way through.

Vacuous - Mammuth review by MP
Save your time and look elsewhere for this is a poor effort. A very weak story line can't be saved even by a very over rated motor cycle.

Tour de Force - Mammuth review by JD3
Not a big fan of Monsieur D. but this is a gem and according to the extras he did it for free as he liked the script so much and the directors could not afford a star of his magnitude.
I concur completely with JD - my initials namesake! - Retirement party a gem, as is supermarket trolley in car park to which I would add:
Fish counter; various phone scenes; job interview and of course the golf course.
Very touching but most of all a funny film with some LOL moments.
(And I confirm this is a completely separate JD review)
