Eddie The Eagle - review

Biopic of unlikely Olympian is corny and derivative but inoffensive.

Dad's Army review: Who do they think they are kidding!

This all-out assault on Britain's comedy crown jewels contains all the humour of a V2 rocket attack. With moments of humour strictly rationed and inspiration rarer than a pair of wartime nylons, it's time for all involved in this career-killing catastrophe to panic.

Movie review: Shaun the Sheep Movie (U)

This British comedy doesn't scale the same heights of the studio's Wallace and Gromit movies but is guaranteed to delight the children.

Inbetweeners 2 review

It's a much funnier and more imaginative movie than the last instalment.

A bit like seeing Stan without Ollie or Eric minus Ernie, Nick Frost has ditched Simon Pegg to go it alone in a generally enjoyable if forgettable British romantic comedy.

Fans of Strictly should find plenty to enjoy here, even if the story is far from memorable.

Bullied by local yobs into hanging up his dancing shoes as a child, the now adult Bruce (Frost) it tempted to return to the ballroom after learning his foxy new boss is a huge salsa fan.

You don't need a degree in rom-coms to know the whole thing is going to end in a dazzling dance contest but, for an hour and a half, Frost and co-stars Rashida Jones and Chris O'Dowd provide amiable enough company.

If Paul, the last Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movie, was a self-indulgent journey into the outer realms of nerdiness, their latest collaboration is aimed squarely at those without an intimate knowledge of the Star Wars movies.

A crowd pleaser, this is a sci-fi comedy for everyone. Twenty years after a teenage pub crawl through their hometown, Pegg rounds up his old buddies (Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan) for a re-run.

But while reminiscing, they learn that the place has a severe case of the Stepfords.

The film contains plenty that men approaching middle age will relate to and the laughs never dry up with Pierce Brosnan, who plays one of their former teachers, an absolute hoot.

Movie review: Run for Your Wife (12A)

Run for your life - away from the cinema - and avoid this shocker.

Movie review: Stitches (18)

It's a pity the one-liners, most of them unrepeatable here, just aren't funny, meaning the mooted sequel really would be stretching the joke too far.
