->The very worst thing about it, of course, is it is like, and if such a thing is imaginable, [=McG=] is like Michael Bay's untalented cousin, and this is like a bad version of ''Film/{{Transformers}}'', and bearing in mind what I thought about ''Tranformers'', that is just about as bad as you can get. [...] In the wake of something like that, just thank heavens for people like Creator/KenLoach who actually want to make films, rather than just, you know, make ''stuff'', on screen.

->Now, obviously there's a great tradition in Britain of comedy shows making awful [[TheMovie movies]] -- you know, ''[[Series/OnTheBuses Holiday on the Buses]]'', ''Series/AreYouBeingServed: [[Film/AreYouBeingServed The Movie]]'' (when they go abroad), ''Series/{{Porridge}}: The Movie'', ''[[Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen League of Gentlemen]]: The Movie'' (which was all over the place), ''[[Series/DaAliGShow Ali G:]][[Film/AliGIndahouse The Movie]]''. This is worse than ''Ali G: The Movie'', which is really saying something. ''Film/KevinAndPerryGoLarge'' is ''Film/CitizenKane'' in comparison with it, but what I was aware of all the way through is, OK, maybe it is that there's a target audience that I'm not part of. ''But'', here's the thing. If you found any of the unbelievably puerile gags funny, then you'd be, like, you know, 13 tops, right? Film's got a 15 certificate, so the film has a certificate which prevents anybody who would find it funny going to see it.
