Paul Dood's Deadly Lunch Break

"[An] uneven sophomore (...) A performance of frenzied commitment by Tom Meeten in the title role, at least, lends interest to 'Paul Dood’s' ickiness. 

"A fairly gentle movie, and the chemistry between Meeten and Watson works overtime to keep a tricky tone balanced." 

"[It] makes for a fun diversion, if nothing else. It’s a shame it chooses not to do anything more with its admittedly outrageous premise, yet it somehow manages to juggle its variety of tones well (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Gillespie’s understated style (...) creates a sense of anarchy that doesn’t mesh well with the situations it depicts. It’s a relief when it turns out otherwise (...) [It] frequently inches right up to the edge of uncomfortable tragedy before pulling back at the last possible moment." 

"[It] takes on several open-goal themes (...) but fails to make much of a coherent statement about any of them. However a game cast of British comedy stalwarts (...) might titillate some genre audiences." 

"Underwhelming and frankly rather irritating"
