Once again I have been astonished, this time to find that Mackenzie Crook’s tube driver movie 3 and Out got bad reviews and bad audiences, despite the best efforts of the London Underground staff.

How did this happen?  Is it really that bad?

No.  Certainly no worse than Run, Fat Boy Run - but of course Simon Pegg is a doyenne of the reviewers, whereas Crook isn’t.

In fact it succeeds where so many other films fail, by both having a genuine comic premise and being suitably real and sensitive whenever needed.

It’s not Withnail & I - yet I suspect it will be a popular draw in 20 years time when it is re-released on digital video liquid or something.
