Trivia
Harry Kane was a character in this film. There also happens to be a well known footballer with the same name. See more »Goofs
When Harry Kane is flying back to London from Jersey the aircraft on the runway is a Flybe Dash 8 Q400 which does fly that route. The interior in the next shot however is filmed in a much larger aircraft with 6 seats across (the Q400 has 4 across) and while he is having his panic attack Harry refers to the oxygen masks in the safety briefing which the Q400 doesn't have.

Mitchell & Webb have done some very funny material in the past. This film is, at best, mildly amusing.
The premise is amusing, in a black comedy way.
The characters are amusing, occasionally.
The script is amusing, in places.
Individually all of the contributors are capable of so much more and it is disappointing to end up with a film that aspires to be funny but falls short in so many ways. It simply fails to sustain any interest. Much of the humour is hackneyed and its predictability takes away so much of the punch that you find yourself hunting for humour that ultimately is not there to find.
Overall the best I can bring myself to recommend is if this comes round on TV and you have little else to do on a rainy day give it a try.
