I saw this on release in the cinema and loved it. As soon as the US DVD was announced, I stuck in my pre-order. The only let down is that there's not enough Eddie Izzard (as he was then known).
I remember the commentary track being really interesting as during the superhero tryouts section of the film, there's a lot of cameos of friends and upcoming actors. The only one I remember is the superhero Eraserhead/Pencilman (sorry it's been so long I've forgotten his name). Anyway, he's played by Doug Jones who would become more famous for playing fantastical creatures. The fawn from Pan's Labyrinth, Abe Sapien from Hellboy, Saru in Star Trek: Discovery and so many more shows and films.
Dane Cook was The Waffler.
