Exceedingly disappointing. Dave Allen was an excellent comic. This biopic wasn't funny and while Aiden Gillen is a good actor and talented mimic, he didn't have Allen's passion or comedic timing. It just didn't stick the landing and felt hollow and pointless as an exercise. It nearly skips over his crowing achievement "Dave Allen At Large" and its international success and significance...and you never even see his wives or children. Hardly covers a subject when you are missing those pieces of a person's life.
Too bad. 5/10
