Faintheart Reviews
London Evening Standard
Charlotte O'Sullivan
Even if you hate it, the only thing you'll be wasting is your time.
Times (UK)
James Christopher
Faintheart is a wild folly. It's a romantic comedy devised, directed, cast, and produced by the online members of MySpace. In this slender respect it's a genuine sensation. But it looks and feels as knock-kneed as the ingredients.
Empire Magazine
Helen O'Hara
The laughs come few and far between in a story as drab as the Northern skies under which it is set.
Time Out
Trevor Johnston
It all feels very samey, the comic potential of the mock battles never approached with genuine enthusiasm but treated as a mere gag, and one which soon outstays its welcome. Amiable yet underwhelming.
Guardian
Xan Brooks
Faintheart, which bills itself as the world's first user-generated movie, is a middling sitcom that could have crawled fully formed from the head of a jaded TV executive.
Independent (UK)
Anthony Quinn
A British underdog comedy of no great distinction.
Metro Newspaper (UK)
Larushka Ivan-Zadeh
Despite the shameless Trekkie jokes and the fact it resembles a Martin Clunes sitcom, there's many a gentle chuckle to be enjoyed in this comedy about 'unleashing the hero within'.
Observer (UK)
Philip French
It's tiresome in its own way.
Sunday Times (UK)
Edward Porter
What has emerged is an ordinary film that might have been made for television at any time in the past few decades.
Film4
Jon Fortgang
Put away your eight-sided dice and go seek this immensely likable, sparky little comedy about fantasy, reality and love conquering all.
Sky Cinema
Elliott Noble
By Odin, it's a totally unexpected hoot.
Daily Mirror (UK)
David Edwards
No gimmick in the world can save this froth.
ViewLondon
Matthew Turner
Watchable, by-the-numbers romantic comedy with a few decent gags and a strong performance from Eddie Marsan.
Scotsman
Alistair Harkness
INTERNET-Generated Movie So Bad Even Cinemas Vow to Show it for Free. No, not a headline from The Onion, but the actual fate of Faintheart.
