Further details
What do you do when you've been contracted to kill someone for £8,000 but can't go through with it? Nab the cash and head for the hills. In a motorhome. First lesson to living in a campervan; ensure light entertainment is available in order to combat the boredom and monotony of living and travelling in one area. Difficult for ex-Phoenix Club bouncers Max and Paddy who are low on funds - and volume - as their new self-stolen plasma has no speakers. So it's off to the nearest nightclub for a beer and a boogie. However, after a disastrous night of booty-shaking, Max needs a few (close-up) dancing lessons from Paddy before he can hit the dizzy lights of the dance floor again. Naturally their perfectly-timed choreography and sexy sailor suits catch the eye of more than one young woman. But have they got more than they bargained for when the Belgrano sisters take the bait? Obviously a night in with the telly was a better option - though not with Paddy's choice of programme.

When the stand-out moment from a new comedy is a sequence involving funny dancing, things aren't going great. Particularly when said comedy has been perhaps the most eagerly anticipated of the year. But then, let's face it, when you pick over the bones the omens weren't great for Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere.
