Ever since the first teaser trailer got record views on YouTube, a lot of people have been very excited about the IT movie.

Not everyone, though.

On Monday's edition of ITV's This Morning, two professional clowns came on the show to give their fairly blunt thoughts about Hollywood's latest Stephen King adaptation.

"It's nothing to do with clowning, and everything to do with a cheap Hollywood movie that's taken millions of pounds," says Rob Bowker, also known as Bibbledy Bob. "Because they don't need Brad Pitt, they don't need Tom Cruise... the guy who's playing the clown -- never heard of him."

"I've got no problem with the film," he continued. "It's a cheap budget movie, poor CGI graphics... I reckon the guy who invented the Fidget Spinner has also done this film, because they've spent as little money as possible for maximum effect."

Oh dear.
