either loved it or loathed it.
Some of the more favourable reviews:
"Film exceeds all expectations....this dark, suburban tale provides over an
hour of pure enjoyment" (Sky Box Office)
"If you can endure the punning title, you'll like the film. The dialogue is
eminently quotable and the characters are are pleasantly skewed versions of
stalwart Brit-flick cliches.....humour is wicked, off-beat and downright
vile...." (FilmFour.com)
"Great debut British film....made on a small budget and all the better for it,
"Weak at Denise" is one of those Brit flicks that you will either love or hate"
(DVD Review)
"This little charmer works well because of the performances and the quirky,
subtle script which pits the unlikeliest hero in a seedy world of betrayal and
murder, all of which occurs with a tongue firmly in the its cheek. This is an
enjoyable escape from the norm" (Ultimate DVD)
"The Clever, multi-layered story which focusses on the bizarre is
offset by great performances. A low-budget winner" (Teletext)
"A Shakespearean Matrix....Plenty of humour and it;s darker than a very dark
night" (Loaded)
"Amusingly talky screenplay..." (Daily
Telegraph)
"Considerably better than its punning title suggests" (Variety)
