 2/5 |
There are some good ideas, but I was disappointed not to get an ending that pieced everything together into a satisfying chain of events. The film provokes questions, all right, but too many are left unanswered. Full Review |

Through no particular fault of the performers, it is pointless, perfunctory and painfully unfunny. Full Review |

|
|
While entertaining, this feels like it belongs on TV. Full Review |
||
 4/5 |
Overcoming a limited budget with imagination and charismatic characters, it's a minor miracle to see a British movie take on a subject matter monopolised by Hollywood and emerge on level terms. Full Review |

2/5 |
A good effort, but ultimately one that may have been more suited to a TV special than a fully-fledged feature, FAQ… is like that geeky friend you really want to like - if only they'd sort out their BO problem and stop talking about Deep Space Nine. Full Review |

1/5 |
An undercooked, rapidly unravelling script, low-grade production values (is that the best future costume you have?), plodding direction and an apologetically crap ending are not worth the price of a cinema ticket in these belt-tightening times. Full Review |

3/5 |
While it doesn't quite achieve the same standards as its recent forebears in British genre comedy, this modest film has amiable, convoluted charm. Full Review |

|
3/5 |
Refreshingly, director Carrivick’s feature debut is both dark, compelling and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny. Full Review |
||
|
3/6 |
While hardly groundbreaking, this is smart, amusing post-pub viewing. Full Review |

Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel is, unashamedly, a Mini Cooper of a film: small but nippy. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
This is the worst film of the week, a dire British comedy, to which the only honest response is to soil and then set fire to the Union flag in the foyer of your local cinema. Full Review |

2/5 |
What do you get if you take Shaun Of The Dead, subtract the zombies and add time travel? Sadly, not Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel. Full Review |

This engaging comedy feels like a stretched-out TV pilot, but is nicely put together, with enough laughs to make a refreshing change from usual Brit film fare.. Full Review |

|
2/5 |
A British “comedy” which is stuck in the past, a time when someone mixing up Star Wars and Star Trek was a gag. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
The film resembles nothing so much as an indifferent and wildly over-stretched episode of space sitcom Red Dwarf. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
One or two amusing moments, but not sustainable for 90 minutes. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Enjoyable comedy with likeable characters, several witty one-liners and an engaging plot, but you can't help feeling they could have done a lot more with the premise. Full Review |
||

1/5 |
Sub-Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy rubbish. Full Review |

2/5 |
"HOW hard can it be to make a film that doesn't suck?" asks bitter wannabe-screenwriter Toby early on. Anyone stumbling out of this latest Britcom would be forgiven for wondering the same thing, given that it sucks like a black hole. Full Review |
