Reviews
"Genuinely amusing and well written comedy."
EMPIRE
"Yes, it's farcical but the success of the comedy lies more with its savvy social satire. Screenwriters Churchill and McCabe obviously know the lie of the media land very well, and revel in the caricatures that inhabit that world. This makes it far more intelligent and biting than the premise would suggest. Add to that the general hideousness of the main characters, which enables the viewer to eschew any time-consuming notions of sympathy, and the result is a relaxed and involving viewing."
