Soulless Richard Curtis New York festive caper.
Wendy Ide, The Observer, 3rd December 2023Genie review
Please put this dreadful comedy back in the bottle.
Kevin Maher, The Times, 1st December 2023Genie review
New Richard Curtis comedy can't save Christmas for anyone.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 21st November 2023Radio Times review
Hang on - a few weeks ago, Miranda Hart appeared on the show to promote her new comedy-action film Spy, and tonight co-stars Jude Law and Melissa McCarthy show up too. Norton must really like that film. McCarthy became a top Hollywood leading woman after her role in Bridesmaids and has signed on to appear as Tinkerbell in a comedy about Peter Pan characters, which sounds promising. Chris Pratt is also invited, to discuss his role in Jurassic World.
Plus there's music from Florence + the Machine (remember them?) and at the comedy end of the sofa, John Bishop, who at the Baftas described the bearded Norton as looking like the love-child of Father Christmas and Louis Walsh. Harsh.
David Butcher, Radio Times, 29th May 2015Miranda Hart makes her Hollywood debut in 'Spy'
Hart appears in new espionage comedy Spy as the best friend of Melissa McCarthy's Susan Cooper, a dissatisfied CIA analyst who has to step up to the plate and prevent a nuclear disaster when all other secret agents are compromised.
