Reviews
The entire shebang rapidly deteriorates into a series of gags about flatulence and Viagra.
Embarrassingly jumpy shifts from humour to menace... one of the most incompetently made films of all time
...suffers from just the sort of overindulgence that is sometimes associated with people who direct their own material.
The scriptwriters walk the fine line between comedy and drama with varying degrees of success.
Has less ain't-it-cool flash than Guy Ritchie's hyperkinetic Snatch, but more satiric soul.
Such a complete waste of time it seems appropriate to write a eulogy to the dear departed British crime caper.
Love, Honour and Obey feels more like a home video that some kids cooked up in their backyard.
