In this case, the answer is a ditty boasting some rather raunchy lyrics, driven by a jazzy beat and an absolutely irresistible trumpet part. However, the main asset of Would You...? is an absolute killer hook, which goes some way to making it one the best pop singles of the year."

The film begins by saying, "There are 24 critics who have lost their jobs in the last several years," but since we finished the film, many more have lost their jobs. A lot of people are tagged with a title of "ex-critic", but they were not "ex" when we filmed them just a few years ago.

And, oh yes, it was hilariously funny."
