Search: Starring Stephen Campbell Moore

Overall, Ashes To Ashes isn’t terrible, it is a perfect example of ‘difficult second album syndrome’.

The fun in the film comes from the heroes' banter, and one can't help but think that watching them take a bus trip to Alton Towers might have been just as enjoyable.

Where Fry succeeds so well is allowing the intrinsic innocence of these brittle butterflies to be exposed without mockery.

The oddities don't add up to anything and the love story between Adam and Helene is as predictable as it is sad.

A creepy genre treat that is damn-near perfect in its execution.

Padded in places and threadbare in others, like an old mattress.

Biopics are seldom so well mannered

The energy is electric

A bit flat, more suited to being shown on TV.

By locating its own dedicated critic within the action of the film, it is possible to point out the triteness and question whether life can be so simply encapsulated within the tidy confines of literature.

Excruciating first date dialogue

There is potential in the scenario and a game cast, but Farr's film is hobbled by some clunky execution and tonal uncertainty.

For a short while I thought this might be an entertainingly bad film. It isn't.
