There is a reason Hallam Foe keeps coming up in conversation. Hallam Foe does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Hallam's talent for spying on people reveals his darkest fears-and his most peculiar desires. Driven to expose the true cause of his mother's death, he instead finds himself searching the rooftops of the city for love. Jamie Bell and Sophia Myles lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2007. Hallam Foe earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Hallam Foe. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Jamie Bell is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
