    I don't particularly enjoy slagging things off; I just didn't find the film, or that style of comedy, at all funny. For those who did, good for you.

    I'd never seen the original, but watched it on BBC1 last night. Thought it was perfectly fine, and enjoyable enough, but I'm a bit baffled now by the dozens of friends who've spent the last eight years claiming it to be the funniest film EVER MADE. Humour's an odd, subjective thing.

    I suppose I'll have to get around to watching the first one, but that trailer looked very run of the mill thinks it's funny but not. Alan Partridge for the TOWIE crowd by the look of it.

    I don't even know what TOWIE stands for but I'm sure you just insulted me and everyone I know.

    It really is a film that gets better and funnier with every viewing though. When I first saw it I liked it enough but it wasn't my favourite comedy of all time. Now, after countless viewings, I think it just might be. I think out of those who truly love it, a lot of them have gained more and more from each viewing.

    Love the new teaser trailer for the sequel by the way

    Perhaps you ought to see the film, rather than judging it based on a 60-second trailer and drawing an utterly baffling conclusion.

    I saw it with my sister when it first came out, and we were virtually the only people in the cinema laughing. We were so weak by the end we almost had to crawl out of the screen. I think it's a masterpiece, but it's obviuously very polarising. From memory, it only made 10% of its worldwide gross outside the US.

    I think it's more popular with the under 30s, which is strange when you consider it's a period comedy.

    Now that's not what I'd call a recommendation.

    I think he's trying to impart a "we were so ahead of our time" type message.

    I'd say the opposite actually. Me and my friends love it, but my younger brother and his friends don't get it at all.

    No, what I was actually saying was "it's obviously very polarising", which is what I actually said.

    Have you been reading long?
