Review:

I know that I had previously reviewed the "Black" version of this movie, but I honestly do not remember what I gave it & am far too lazy to go all the way back to check it out. All you need to know is that this one is a million times funnier, better acted & way more entertaining all around. It's pretty much a who's who of British comedic actors (and one American, Alan Tudyk). Hilarious. Well written & filmed. Watch this one, not the Martin Lawrence/Chris Rock version.
