The film was actually good, but easily would've been better if:
A - The entire Sub-Plot of the police chase and Irish bomber was completely scrapped
B - Those animated deus ex machina scenes were all cut; these just sucked you right out of the film every time
Trim out those 15 minutes and it would've been a really good story about Nan's life. Instead, we get that but it's split up with a completely pointless sub-plot.

Less would've been better.
Sadly it's a major flop.
To this day I still watch the Nan sketches, some of the funniest comedy made over the last twenty years, she is outrageous, I was really keen to see how the character would translate to a full length movie.
Sadly, it's not a good movie, in fact it's actually quite a bad movie, it just doesn't work, the sketches work because they're sharp, punchy, and done in a way that shocks you, and has you belly laughing, the same cannot be said here, the laughs just didn't land.
A kind of origins story, one which tried to explain the story of Joanie's fractured relationship with her sister. Several faces pop up, including the large guy, and miserable woman from the council, but sadly none of the elements worked.
The laughs just didn't land, and the story just wasn't interesting enough. The half hour sketch format works so much better, and hopefully she'll do another soon.
There is no denying the talent of Catherine Tate, she's terrific, and I can't wait to see the return of Donna Noble, this though, sadly didn't work 3/10.
