I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I watch alot of stand-up-comedies and all comedians have their different ways to tell a story, to interact with the audience, to mimic or to use different voices. Frankie Boyle has his unique way of playing with the audience. If you've never been to, or never saw a show of him and you decide to go see it by yourself just be warned to never sit in the front because he'll make fun of you wether you like or not. And it's always nasty, as nasty as it can get. You have to like that kind of humor, over the top and borderline passable. It's always politically incorrect and that's what's great about this Scottish comedian. He brings the wrong jokes like nobody else can, or would get away with it. I can see people getting offended by it but my advice would be just don't watch it then. Because you know exactly what you will get at one of his shows. You should be able to laugh at anything and Frankie Boyle just does. Subtitles are almost required if you're not Scottish but that's just a detail.
