ChickLit
ChickLit is a comedy drama about four guys trying to save their local pub from closing down. In order to do it, the guys decide to write a check lit. Soon after, the novel gets picked up! Now, the only problem is that the publisher insists that the young woman 'author' does press and publicity.

All the cultural references are weirdly strained and off-target.

A resistible chauvinism colours the jokes about female reading habits and, even though the middle-class gents have the tables turned on them, this always feels a touch parochial and smug.

ChickLit will possibly be remembered as the moment when the low-budget Britcom genre hit bottom.

We get little sense of what the four authors are actually writing about other than that their prose is very purple.

Mild-mannered and vaguely amusing ...

The tittering, self-conscious "aren't we naughty?" tone makes you want to drive a bulldozer straight through the blasted pub and its wretched clientele.

The comedy amounts to a succession of duff innuendos, often lost in the erratic sound mix, occasionally botched altogether by supporting players apparently sourced from Britten's bridge club.
