Ricky's Film Review

Ricky's Film Review was a feature on Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's Xfm radio show in which Gervais would incompetantly 'review' a film.

Details

Ricky's 'reviews' would usually consist of him solely describing the plot in a childish way, missing out major plot points in the film and instead focusing on the least important part, e.g. the elephants in The Jungle Book. The films that were reviewed were always years old, and Ricky would ask directors to pay to him for a good review. However, despite Ricky's threatening to give a bad review for if he didn't get paid, he always gave films either 9/10 or 10/10.
