This has writing that could charitably be called inane, and a wholly repulsive star.

Top Critic O diretor Michael Dowse confere energia admirável a este filme espetacular que conta, ainda, com uma atuação arrebatadora de Paul Kaye.

Bright, noisy, and surprisingly fulfilling, it keeps its adrenaline rush under deceptively easy control.

Paul Kaye's performance is revelatory. A surprisingly warm-hearted mockumentary.

When Kaye tries to be funny, he's odd; when he tries to be sad, he's boring; and when he tries to be happy, he's . . . just weird.

Surges along on wry dialogue and energetic scenes, mixing spot-on parody with comments on the exploitation of the handicapped and the fads of the dance music industry.

There's nothing like watching a guy hit rock bottom and then try to crawl back up again. Or as that heartless record industry weasel puts it, 'People love a good tragedy.' Especially one set to a good beat.
