The viewers who have slated this film (eg. "Absolute tosh" etc.) must prefer their films less complex, perhaps with more action and shorter words. Because this is in fact a cracker of a film. It really surprised me actually, because while I fully expected it to be entertaining, I didn't expect the sparkling and original wit that this script has, or the classy performances pulled off by Crowe and Gosling (as good as they are, particularly Crowe). It was almost like a modern day Pink Panther, dare I say it?? Entertaining throughout, it put a smile on my face all the way through and had me cracking up several times. Totally brilliant and highly recommended - you'd be mad to miss it. And as for those naysayers' reviews, well, what a load of "Tosh" indeed! Love it, love it, love it.
