It comes across like a christmas panto made by people in mensa who thought their iqs meant the audience wanted to see their working, instead of just having the answers to the problem. Itโs a tiresome film, and thatโs without even getting into how miscast Pegg is. Yes, the Cornetto trilogy is overall a continual slide downwards in quality, but at least heโs believable in the other two roles.
