I have noticed that many of the more negative reviews are (wrongly) comparing this film to Monty Python. My advice is that if you do decide to watch this, it may help you to know its origins lie in a very fun British children's show, and NOT in Pythonesque humour. The only real similarities Between this team and Python are that the cast is British, and that many of the actors play multiple roles. All fair comparisons end there. The team that made this film have never tried to emulate Python, but instead are extending their own style developed over many years of producing work for kids.
I enjoyed it - not really a laugh out loud film, but definitely a steady stream of sniggering. You do have to watch closely for the constant stream of mini-japes, many of which are juvenile, conversely some of them are subtle and smart.
If you are looking for Python you will most likely be disappointed, but if you are looking for something different that walks a rather sweet line between childish & broad, and occasionally subtle & clever, you will probably get a kick out of this.
