The film hasn’t been received terribly well by the press, though the public seem to enjoy it. Here’s some comments about Paul’s role:
It's mostly pretty awful, but there are one or two crass laughs, largely provided by Paul McGann playing the potty-mouthed priest (Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian)
Impish Swede MyAnna Buring as kick-ass Lotte and Paul McGann as a vampire-hating vicar both play it brilliantly deadpan. (Filmbiz, The Sun)
Paul McGann being around was one of the best things about it really. I got to do a lot of my scenes with him, and I got to wear a long coat so I started to feel like Withnail. (James Corden)
He (Paul McGann) had a really hard job on this film because he had to play it absolutely straight. We have to ask the audience the make a big leap of faith and he's a major part of that. (from BBC news)
Paul McGann is a real hero of Mat’s and mine, and when we were told that he was playing the vicar we were so over the moon. (James Corden)
The pair (Corden and Horne) were in awe of Withnail And I actor Paul McGann, who plays a vicar in the movie, and who was described by Horne as a "legend". (Sky News)
