Cheap and pretty charmless, this low-budget British comedy combines kids’ telly naffness with crass sex jokes. It’s really quite tawdry and the knob gags just don’t get any funnier, but there are a couple of quite nice performances. Brandon McCaffrey is a likable lead playing a hopeless loser who gets his life on track with a new job as a bike courier for a Deliveroo-style app. And a certain level of likability is definitely required to pull off lines like: “I’d love to get that much hanky panky. For me it’s all hanky wanky.”
McCaffrey plays Tim, who introduces himself in a voiceover as 25 years old, gay, unfit and unemployed. Flatmate Jade (Billie Hindle, nicely deadpan) suggests he gets a job working for the delivery app Wallaby and Tim is sold on the idea when he meets a Wallaby courier who tells him how much sex you can get on the job. And so it turns out. On his first day, a customer invites Tim in to test out his new sex toys. What follows is the film’s most depressing and unrelentingly unfunny scene, as the man’s wife comes home early.
