Think Spinal Rap. A likeable and sporadically funny film, it’s rather slight for a theatrical release.

1 - 19 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Considine is outrageously funny and never steps out of character, but the film hardly adds up to an evening's entertainment.
10/16/09
The film has about as much sense of structure as – well, as Thirst, but I laughed a fair bit.
10/16/09
Some British film-makers never give up and Shane Meadows is one of them. He’d make a movie of a custard pie if he could. And generally there’s entertainment to be had from even his most hand-to-mouth efforts.
10/16/09
A monumental mockumentary from Brit cinema’s premier director/actor double act. True, daft, emotional, hilarious.
10/09/09
Top CriticAn endearing effort with enough heart to fill the gaps where the gags dry up or fall flat.
10/09/09
Top CriticJaw-bustingly funny stuff, uproarious, delightful and unexpectedly touching, containing more laugh-out-loud moments than most Hollywood comedies twice the length.
10/09/09
Top CriticConsidine’s performance, for instance, is an enthralling piece of improvisation that carries the entire movie.
10/09/09
Top CriticThe film is slight, but there's enough there for Meadows to create a plausible narrative arc with solid laughs along the way.
10/09/09
Top CriticA warm and improvised comedy that will appeal to anyone with a penchant for jokes about Beth Ditto.
10/09/09
Top CriticLargely improvised and inevitably a little rambling and loosely structured but there are some genuinely funny moments along the way.
10/09/09
Shane Meadows's movies are always brimming full of originality and verve and Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee is arguably his most daring effort so far.
10/09/09
A comedy miracle that is the mirthful match for any so-called fun-fest that has emerged from Hollywood this year.
10/09/09
It may just be an extended short, but Meadows’ latest still crams in enough laughs to fill a comedy twice its size. Considine, meanwhile, brings his character to such exhilarating life you can’t tell where he ends and Donk begins.
10/09/09
The plot is threadbare and the style is knockabout, but the improvisation, especially that of Considine, lends it an energy and spirit that's hard to resist.
10/09/09
It’s the dynamic between the crass, artless Le Donk and Scor-zay-zee, his quiet, overweight partner who’s capable of delivering brilliant raps, that wins here.
10/09/09
Even with a short running time (71 mins) this scrappy, unendearing squib outstays its welcome.
10/09/09
Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee is a superbly directed, brilliantly acted mock-doc that's laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish.
10/09/09
Considine reveals himself to be a fine comic actor here and, while the fly-on-the-wall format is no longer fresh, the emphasis on generating actual laughs, as well as pathos, is.
