As per usual, standout performances by Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari and Nick Offerman, who seem to be the strongest characters throughout.

But Amy Poehler steals the show in this, playing the deputy director of Parks and Recreation for local government in this small town called Pawnee. She's rather sweet and hugely optimistic in the face of everyone saying no to her as she tries to fill in a giant pit and turn it into a park.
It is a hilarious take on local government and all the pitfalls of being a representative.

This book was extremely interesting and the audiobook was HILARIOUS! I loved listening to Aziz Ansari read this book and describe the statistics that he gathered. The book was interesting and quite entertaining. He gathered a lot of information and was able to bring life into what could have been a dull psychology book.
Ultimately, if you're looking for an interesting and fun read, this is the book is for you. The statistics were never dull and it was fascinating to learn about other cultures and the differences between generations.

There's a great balance in this between facts, data and laughs, and there are some very clever insights in this into modern dating and romance. It was also interesting to read about dating in other foreign cities that I didn't know much about. Aziz is a relatively endearing author, coming across as rather friendly and inviting and you get the feeling that he really cares about the subject matter. There's a lot of truth in this book and whilst I don't think anything in this is massively groundbreaking, it's still an insightful and entertaining read.

Nick (Eisenberg) and Chet (Aziz Ansari) who have practically destroyed each others lives but stayed friends for so long that to split now would seem futile.
That though is only a small part of the plot which centres around the pair needing to find $100,000 in less than a day or face the consequences of Nick being blown to bits!
Featuring a cast of talented actors lead by fans favourite Danny McBride who’s at his white trash talking best and he leads the plot to off his father in order to get his hands on the inheritance. Aided by quiet side kick and at times voice of reason Travis (Blades of Glory’s Nick Swardson) the pair share a number of hilarious conversations drifting from the task at hand.
There are certainly laughs a plenty, with the friendships of both parties strained to the max, but that makes for an all the more enjoyable ride. If you liked Pineapple Express then this will be right up your street.
