This was a compromise choice between me and my girlfriend after we had spend about an hour trawling through the rubbish on Netflix.
It was an acceptable choice. This is a film with a simple yet deliciously absurd premise; Peirce goes to top himself but finds he isn't the only one contemplating suicide at that moment. Predictably he becomes entwined with these distractors and so the story unfolds.
This film sets its sites fairly low. It isn't hilarious or gut wrenchingly tragic or even makes much of a point about mental health and suicide (phew!)
It is a well crafted, light hearted character study. It is guilty of being twee, predictable and a bit cheesy but that didn't bother me in the slightest.
Brosnan has a bit too much luggage to pull off a cockney accent but all the cast give a great performance and the Poots's character is quite infectious.
