ChickLit is a comedy drama about four guys trying to save their local pub from closing down.
They group write a chick lit, or more specifically a 'mummy porn' novel in the style of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and it gets snapped up. The only snag is that the publisher insists that the young woman 'author' does press and publicity. The guys have to keep their involvement a secret and so engage an out of work actress to 'role play' the part of the author.
This Britcom about a bunch of locals trying to save their village pub by writing a Fifty Shades of Grey-style bestseller is hammily acted and clunkily scripted.
Mild-mannered and vaguely amusing it floats by on the efforts of an unusually fine cast.
This twee British pastiche of the Fifty Shades phenomenon will tickle no one’s funny bone.
