Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Lotrel I just loss 83 mins of my life.. 83 mins I could have done something worth while like, cutting grass, sleeping, cleaning the house... This was a waste of time, and I hope to never ever watch this again for the rest of my life. The director should never work on a film ever again. He tried to be witty but failed at every step. There was nothing at all good to say about this film. I thought Simon Amestell was a cross dresser or Pre Op transvestite till I looked him up on Wikipedia... I even hated this film the second time I watched it. an outter waste of time and film, why was it even made, does anyone like this shitty ass movie? i don't know a single person thats even seen it let alone like it.

phiggins Black Pond is not normal. It is odd. It is patchy. It is padded-out with an unnecessary but not unamusing performance from Simon Amstell. It is sometimes confusing and incoherent. It is also hilarious and memorable and brilliantly-performed. Chris Langham (yes, that Chris Langham) is on top form: "It's sheer lunacy to eat a banana at this time of night." There are so many great bits: the "I love you - both of you" in the car. The "phenomenal tw*t" line. Don't miss it. It's excellent. Yes, it feels overlong and underdone, somehow - it might have been better as a short, but even so, there is more imagination and wit on display than in most "quality" movies that stink up the multiplex on a regular basis.

ianharrison747 Creepy, uncomfortable, cheap, and actually lacking imagination. It is very confusing when watching the film without the aid of a preview, one doesn't quite understand if it has a serious intent or is just a spoof. The conclusion is quickly that it's a bad spoof. Dysfunctional family, weird outsider, dodgy dog. A dog's dinner. In fact the three legged dog was the best actor. There is a real danger of one being trapped into thinking it's good because it's alternative and built on a £25k budget. It's only just above awful because my compatriots giggled and didn't dump the DVD. but only just. Unfortunately one laughs for all the wrong reasons. Deeply depressing..I lost my sense of humour in the black pond.

salmo365 I don't know who made this, what their funding was like, but it was very amateurish in feel. It wasn't bad, nothing shockingly awful, but neither was it entertaining, adult or polished.Even accepting it for an indie flick, it just lacked something.Langham was surely cast because they thought it would generate headlines, good or bad but he just lacked something and was phoning it in. The same with Amstell, he clearly did his cameo in one afternoon, probably as a favour to a mate and I wasn't really sure what the point of his character was. Which was a shame because it was his name that sparked my interest.There was no story arc, you were clearly supposed to have already read the DVD cover and we were just there to see how it unfurled.Very disappointing really.
