Watched: The Most Unromantic Man in the World - 2006

This is a spoof documentary with the camera crew following the winner of a nationwide search for 'Homo Unromanticus' - The most unromantic male in the world. The propaganda invites us into a world where "love is replaced by football, passion killed by beer, music drowned by farts and desire strangled by porn" ... what else could I do but check it out ? (despite my concerns over cutting music from my life).
Now, I've always seen myself as a bit of an unromantic slob but I would clearly struggle to keep up with David Lumley who is truly a remarkable creation and there is surely bit of him in all of us: newspaper tokens to get money off a romantic meal, anniversary gifts from the charity shop, taking sickies from work to go shopping for porn or even the boys only sofa party nights.
Sure, some of the gags used do suffer from a bit of repetition but the cringe factor and awesome soundtrack linked into what is actually quite a touching storyline more than makes up for it. Another low budget option, but highly recommended by me - if only to prove to your significant other that you're not actually THAT bad !!
