    SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
    Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
    Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
    Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
    Thraeryn So, y'know that thing in comedy these days where awful people are so painfully well-written that they're not actually funny characters? Where, instead of being over-the-top, they're just the idiots that live 'round the corner, and all the situations are boring dross that could happen on a Tuesday?Yeh. It's one of those. The BBC is trying to bolster the economy with them now that The Office has been so long off-air.The essence of humor is the unexpected, and there's nothing unexpected about a bunch of bell-ends stumbling through a world of mundane cock-ups.
    peterrichboy If your a fan of the Office or any mockumentry comedy then People just do nothing will be for you. The premise of the show is simple a bunch of no hoppers from Brentford trying to run an illegal urban grind radio station. They are of course completely useless with only themselves and those close to them thinking they are any good. There are obvious comparisons to the Office the playing up to the cameras, the odd embarrassed glance when they realise there being filmed. But like the Office at some point in our life we have meet people like these characters, and as hopeless as they are you can't help but care about them. 8/10
    acmredmond I am just a bit distraught that this will only be the 4th review on IMDb for this show. 8.6 is great but even after 3 series it still doesn't have the coverage it deserves. If they don't get more recognition they might not make any more. Plus how will Chabuddy ever get his own show? Or how about Chabuddy G winning an apprentice special. Think, misfits, spaced, Nathan barley crossed with spinal tap type genius. Mockumentry style with a clever low grade uk/Australian sense of place and time. It's not like it's 1998 is it mate. I've been kurupted!
    c_hookham Firmly in the tradition of the Office and Phoenix Nights comes this gem following the day to day ups and downs of a group of friends running a pirate radio station in a bedraggled West London neighborhood. We meet best pals, the wonderfully delusional MC Grindah and the loyal, clearly talented but dim DJ Kevin "Beats" Bates who run Brentford's top Garage/DnB,Grime Pirate radio station Kurupt FM. Not very ably assisted by child-like stoner Steves and modest & quiet DJ Decoy; the lads face the day to day struggles of keeping their station going and managing their complicated private lives. The ambitious but severely deluded local 'entrepreneur' Chabuddy G provides the station with much needed help & advice that usually brings chaos to the group, while Grindah's housewife/hair dresser girlfriend provides the vital ego massaging that a 'genius' like Grindah needs. Much of the comedy comes from Grindah's frustration at not being a mega star and with his loyal but dimwitted crew who seemingly frustrate his every move as well as the buffoon- ish but well intentioned Chabuddy's attempts to help his friends. This sort of thing has been done before and a lot of Grindah's mugging to camera is straight from the Ricky Gervais school of comedy but this is clearly a labour of love for the cast, about music they clearly have a passion and talent for. Truly a joy to watch the writing and acting (much of which is ab- libbed) are fantastic. A Spinal Tap for modern British urban music.
