Life's Too Short

Life may be short, but this comedy is not long enough.

With Life's Too Short, he [Ricky Gervais] again delivers.

Odd...make that very odd, and not for all tastes--probably very few. But there are some funny bits.

What's different about Life's Too Short, and what makes it watchable, is that Mr. Davis--who portrayed Filius Flitwick in the "Harry Potter" films, as well as multiple "Star Wars" Ewoks--is so good at playing Mr. Gervais's stock character.

Though there are some good jokes here and there about the humiliations a little person actor has to endure on your average movie set, for the most part, the biggest laughs have little to do with Davis and everything to do with the celebrity guests.

Too often Life's Too Short feels like two shows stuck together with a bit of chewing gum.

Life's Too Short is occupied with nonsensical and barely developed sketch ideas as well as Extras-style celebrity cameos, Gervais and Merchant among them.
