When all is said and done and I look back on the films of 2004 a few years from now (when I've had a chance to see more of the smaller releases, plus some of the larger ones that I originally had qualms about seeing), I bet this British comedy will rank in my top 10 films of the year. There's very little to it, but it's sweet, somewhat unexpected, and often bloody hilarious.

Bleah!
