9/10
Excellent, intelligent comedy

Warning: Spoilers
OK, so I am not going to describe the movie as this has been done in the other reviews....except to say the James Bond scene and the 'we will rise at dawn' scene are genius. I am a Brit who has lived in NYC for the past 5+ years and so I missed the TV series, however, I am very familiar with the work from both guys especially through the 90s and early 2000s. There are a fair few references to each others famous parts which were totally lost on the audience in NY (e.g. anything Alan Partridge related) but the rest of the film went down very well. I feel if you 'get' British comedy you will love this movie. If you prefer the more in your face Hangover type stuff (also very good) then you may be disappointed. If you have problems understanding the Northern English or Welsh accent you may also have problems and should probably wait for the DVD with subtitles.....neither is very strong but definitely not your typical English accent observed in most movies that contains one.

Very good movie with excellent cinematography.
