Funny film - Magicians review by PV
I thought this film was much better than I expected a spin-off for TV actors to be. The reason? The script - written by the Peep Show writers. It is a happy jolly funny film - rather undemanding but great fun. I found this much funnier than most Hollywood comedies actually. Recommended.

Ok for popcorn film - Magicians review by CP Customer
This film is an easy watch. In mutch the same vane as their comedy show Mitchell and Webb extract the same humour from this film. Not going to blow your mind away but if you just need an easygoing film to unwind to this is one to watch.

Plain funny - Magicians review by JD
Some of the humour is pretty bawdy and Viz-like most is built on mild tension and just great fun. The cast are absolutely brilliant and Mitchell in particular could have read a telephone directory and still made me laugh. Sophisticated? No. Well done? yes.
