Total Film | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'It may just be an extended short, but Meadows' latest still crams in enough laughs to fill a comedy twice its size.' |
|
Empire - Nev Pierce | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Le Donk & Scor-Zay-Zee, Scorsese & De Niro, Torvill & Dean, Considine & Meadows... A monumental mockumentary from Brit cinema's premier director/actor double act. True, daft, emotional, hilarious.' |
|
Evening Standard - Derek Malcolm | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'makes the best of its five-day, no budget restrictions, so that you don't expect much more than you get. That amounts to a fine comic riff' |
|
Little White Lies - Laurence Boyce | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'whilst it's all a lot of fun, it also feels slightly indulgent as if it's a joke of which you only know part of the set-up. As such, even at a lean 70 minutes, the film runs out of steam and the last half an hour begins to drag.' |
|
The Independent on Sunday - Nicholas Barber | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Cheap and cheerful' |
|
The Sunday Times - Cosmo Landesman | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'rather slight for a theatrical release. Considine gives a superb performance, but Le Donk is not a great, captivating comic character. He and the film would have been better had they had more time to develop.' |
|
The Guardian - Peter Bradshaw | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'At just 71 minutes, the film is slight, but there's enough there for Meadows to create a plausible narrative arc with solid laughs along the way and a very surreal moment when Scor-zay-zee reveals that he has converted to Islam and recites the first chapter of the Koran.' |
|
The Daily Telegraph - Sukhdev Sandhu | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee is a warm and improvised comedy that comes perilously close to self-conscious humour.' |
|
The Times - Kevin Maher | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'the film duly absolves itself of dramatic responsibilities through the gleeful play-acting of two leads who, in their finest moments, recall a softer, less scatological version of Kevin Smith's comedy duo Jay and Silent Bob' |
|
Time Out - Dave Calhoun | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'When Considine really gets going, he's as funny as he's ever been.' |
