I'd seen the advert for this at the cinema around this time last year, and thought it looked great and really funny. I liked the fact that it was set in New York and that it had a relatively unknown British actor in a lead role for a major film, even though he is well known as a comedian/personality! However for whatever reason, I didn't get a ...  Read the complete review

I have liked Ricky Gervais ever since i saw him in The Office. I have always loved his really dry sense of humour and when i saw a trailer for this film, i couldnt wait to go and see it as i thought it looked really funny. I dont remember ever seeing Ricky Gervais playing a lead role in a film so i was interested to see what he would ...  Read the complete review

I finally managed to watch this film last weekend and I had been looking forward to it. On paper, it sounded great; one of my favourite comedians in the main role (Ricky Gervais), a fairly impressive supporting cast (Tea Leoni) and a feel-good romantic story with a twist. The premise is that a generally rude and anti-social dentist ...  Read the complete review

I can't think of any modern day british comedy show that I like and I'm no fan of Ricky Gervais' british work like The Office or Extras. But I do really like Ricky Gervais himself. I've always seen him as a great comedian in rubbish things. At last, he is in something far more to my tastes. I personally hope he stays doing this sort of thing, as I ...  Read the complete review

I was really keen to see this film after watching several trailers and programmes about it. It sounded funny, but also I was more keen because it had Ricky Gervais in it, and I like his style of humour. I would have seen it in the cinema but to be honest I haven't been out to see a film in ages. So I watched this at my mate's house. ...  Read the complete review

The film seemed to gain so-so reviews from film critics, and poor reviews from dooyoo, but I still can't understand why! I absolutely Ricky Gervais, he's my favorite comedian, therefore I was so chuffed when I heard he was directing and starring in a film. I saw this film in the cinema as soon as it came out, and the entire audience ...  Read the complete review

I wasn't sure whether I liked this movie or not. I felt Rickey Gervais sold out alittle bit with this one. Don't get me wrong, Gervais himself is as good as usual as the anti-social dentist, but he seems out of place in an otherwise "too American" production, at lest from the point of view of what Gervais is usually in. ...  Read the complete review

Ricky Gervais shot to fame with his hit UK comedy The Office, and supported this with some hilarious standup shows (Animals and Politics), and another TV show called Extras. Ghost Town, however, is his first foray into film in a big way, as well as his first starring role. It's safe to say, Ricky Gervais has finally broken through that glass ...  Read the complete review

This is a really strange film choice for both me and hubby as neither of us like Ricky Gervais but we liked the idea of the story and agreed that when we could buy it for under £5 we would get it and give it a so. What a surprise when it was under £5 on Amazon! Ricky Gervais plays the role of Bertram Pincus, he is a dentist and not a ...  Read the complete review

I watched this film last night as my latest rental DVD from lovefilm and I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed by it. Gervais plays a reclusive, people hating dentist in a very Brent-esque style and can see dead people after a near death experience on the operating table. I expected it to be funnier than it turned out to be because of the ...  Read the complete review

Ricky Gervais is no leading man, that's for sure, wisely not allowing himself to be cast in that territory for his first starring role in Hollywood. He's not the best looking Brit to step up from popular comedy television and certainly couldn't get away with getting the beautiful girl at the end of any Hollywood movie. What he is though is a ...  Read the complete review
