Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Damo25 Sorry to have to point out to you here, but last time I saw Ed Byrne he was still Irish. Having said that, I will have to see this film as it looks like a bit of a laugh. Hope its better than "The Cassidy's", an absolute train wreck of a sitcom that Ed did a couple of years back for RTE, watered down waste of talent that was. Anyway, I believe Ralph little is also in this film, usually does fairly funny stuff. I saw this DVD in the video shop the other day, as two 13year lads were snickering as they went to rent it, I'm sure they were disappointed to find that there is no porn in this what so ever, hope they had a laugh though.

theNomad Ed Burn plays John Davies a midlife crisis ridden OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) writer,who's partner Suki has left along with the bulk of his possessions.With an horror film script rewrite to finish and new found job of writing plot lines for a prime time soap,this new found pressure makes him suffer even more neurosis than normal leading him to become even more compulsive over a lads magazine super model he wants to cast in his film as the token none speaking movie boob shot.All this while he's to deal with his friends,psychiatrist and his two imaginary finger friends (played by comedy duo Vic & Bob).I personally loved this film its small but there in lies its beauty,in some areas it felt a little too like a sitcom but never for long enough to become stale.Ed Burn (thankfully not wasting his talents on lame pointless advert/clips television shows) proves to come across charming even among all his neurosis and becomes one of the few British stand-ups to prove he can act and hold a film,which when alongside other stand-ups like Steve Coogan & Lee Evens who became big on TV but who have both made dire moves onto the bigger screen.I gave this an 8 out of 10 would of been higher if the ending wasn't so clearly rushed.That said its worthy nights entertainment congrats to Ed on doing what so many before him have failed at.

wmajor-1 With all due respect to the comment by 2cents, "Zemanovaload" isn't an Ed Byrne stand-up showcase; you can watch his stand-up for that. This is his breakthrough as an actor, and it's a thoroughly memorable and enjoyable one. Rife with all the same sharp, witty dialogue and wry observations about life and relationships that audiences the world over have come to expect from British independent films, "Zemanovaload" is the first film I've seen to brutally dissect the dysfunctional way in which digital-age relationships have evolved while somehow finding a humorous silver lining to it all. Byrne's performance as neurotic and hopelessly obsessive-compulsive TV writer John Davies (the kind of guy who makes Woody Allen seem well-adjusted) rings disturbingly true to life, as does his obsession with supermodel Veronika Zemanova, who should easily become a household name with this film's worshipful title. A delight in all respects.

dgaither If most of Ed Byrne's work is superior to this, as another commenter has suggested, I need to start digging up his performances. I found this to be a very funny movie and the audience I was with had at least a dozen group explosions of laughter. I found the humor to be similar to that of the "Friends" TV show, if that show had been R-Rated. I think the effectiveness of the film derives from the fact that so many characters and situations are recognizable from ordinary life as lived by the rest of us. Then the film takes just that extra step or two toward absurdity that makes you appreciate the inherent absurdity in the "ordinary" situation it grew out of. The impromptu jig John dances as he's listening to a voice mail message from someone he's taken revenge on will lift your spirits. How I wish I could dance that step. ***Spoiler Alert*** You should not go to this movie expecting to see Veronika Zemanova acting. John Davies' obsession with her is limited to downloading and printing various clothed and unclothed photos of her from the internet and decorating his apartment with them. He's right though in saying of Georgina Chapman that "if you squint just right. . .".
