  • The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse (2005)
    Review preview for The League Of Gentlemen's Apocalypse

    The character-based comedy mostly works as well as it does on the show, but the laboured and frequently infantile storylines make the film fall flat on its face when it's not half way up its own arse.

    Scott Macdonald · 2.5 out of 5
    Convoluted comedy from TV-based series that questions the meaning of reality.
