Ricky Gervais + movie = fail (Office = excellent, everything else = shite)
same as Rowan Atkinson (Blackadder = funny, Mr Bean = epic fail)

exception is Billy Connolly, who is not only the world's funniest comedian but a damn fine actor

Ricky Gervais is the Mrs Bucket for the naughties. One joke comedy.

I used to despise Ricky Gerbilface but recently he has grown on me somewhat and I have to say I always enjoy his interviews with Jonathon Ross, he always comes across as a decent bloke during those and I think Ross brings out the best in him.

I agree, i like him and he always makes me smile. He's not afraid to take the piss out of himself

I saw him live at Hammersmith Appolo a few years back and i have tickets for his shows at Brighton in December, can't wait

Just off the top of my head Billy Connolly was in Mrs Brown (excellent acting in a super film) and The Last Samurai.

and anyway, how many shite films have there been with good actors in them ? Even the most talented actor can't make a shite plot & a clueless director into a smash hit.

I agree, it was pretty shit. Also Fame was crap. Characters fed your their "ooh this is what I want to do" i.e. become an actor, then they become a dancer or singer. Character's were weak.

Anything that Ricky Gervais is connected with always turns out to be bollocks.

But he will always get onto tv, especially with Johnathen Ross, who is so far up Ricky's arse its unbelivable.

I like Ricky Gervais' comedy perhaps a bit dated now, I love sarcastic humour dry humour in general but I really hated that film.

Billy Connolly was also in the last X Files film, although it didnt really set the world alight
