8 Minutes Idle

Dan (Tom Hughes) is working in a Bristol call centre when he is kicked out of his home by his angry mother (Pippa Haywood) after he let his father (Paul Kaye) in, who subsequently stole her winning lottery ticket.

The morning after, his coworker Ade (Antonia Thomas) deduces that he is sleeping in the office and lends him money to find somewhere to stay, which he instead uses to buy a replacement iPod.

He asks around for someone to stay with including the coworker he has a crush on, Teri (Ophelia Lovibond), all of whom prove unsuitable or unable to put him up, so he remains sleeping at the office.

The call centre company then folds and at the final karaoke social Alice knocks Teri out with a bottle, Dan rushes her to hospital where he sees his father leaving with his mother, having gotten back together for the lottery money.

The film has received mixed reviews, earning 2/5 starts from the Guardian and the Evening Standard,[4][5] 38% on Rotten Tomatoes[6] and the slightly more positive 3/5 from The Radio Times.
