The story is as old as the hills (a guy is embarrassed by his shameless, hopeless family on a big occasion)but quite well done.
The humour is very British revolving mainly around farce and knob gags. I found it very funny and the characters frighteningly easy to relate too.
The acting is mainly good, the production is more than adequate and the casting is great.
The only problem I found was the movie didn't know where to sit. It was a bit too over the top for a true British situation comedy and went a bit zany but it didn't go far enough to compete with the big Hollywood spectacle comedies.
It was sold to me as the Austalian Hangover which is not accurate at all. For a midweek giggle this is great. I am glad I saw it but would have been disappointed if this was my Friday night.
