Anyone else seen it? I saw it today. I totally didn't get it. It was like they didn't have a clue what they were doing when they were making it - it had no developement, no plot, no message. Seriously, it was odd watching it. :cursing:

Gervais is such a shit actor. Have you seen him in Night at the Museum.

Fuck Ricky Gervais. Karl Pilkington is the real comedy genius.

oh shit forgot about that. Some of it was quite good, especially considering Bowie made a cameo appearance. And Pilkington featured at one point aswell.

Best bit was daniel radcliffe or the scene when ricky sucks on the fizzy water.

I've seen some of Gervais' standup and it's pretty funny. I think he's one of those comedians who can't hit the mark when it comes to the big screen (Richard Prior's movies never even came close to the rest of his stuff IIRC, not that I'm comparing the two). Ghost Town was pretty average IMO.

This comes out here soon. I shall see it. Gervais is awesome in Extras. That show is classic (best episode is the one with Orlando Bloom).

Please don't let this film ruin your perception of Ricky Gervais. Don't watch it.
