He takes the expected jabs, but is honest enough to admit that there were some aspects of pop culture for which he began to develop an appreciation. Media reviews"..a laugh-out-loud guide to why the British need not go to great lengths to grab bits of American culture. It is already here, playing at a cinema near you." |
