Rating: - Dismal nonsense
I have seen this film once and it was one time too many. Sure it is well acted and there are some fine performances, but it is utterly depressing and without hope.

The characters seem embroiled in a sense of impending doom and whilst I do not ask for happy clappy Disney traits in all films, this one lack anything of note. It is not funny in any way shape or form and should be avoided at all costs.

If you like Stephen Fry, buy the Blackadder series or a Bit of Fry and Laurie.

Rating: - Excellent !
It is difficult to say something original about this film, something that hasn't been said 10 times before.

But it *is* excellent.

I had heard it was a comedy, that you couldn't stop laughing, well it isn't exactly true. There *are* some very funny jokes and lines, but overall the movie is rather tragic.

Rating: - Fantastic film, appalling DVD
I love this film, but I'll confine this review to the wretched DVD. I own hundreds of DVDs and this is without a doubt the worst quality of them all. The colors are all faded and the transfer is not in the proper aspect ratio.

Luckily the film has been released on DVD in the ... Read More

Rating: - Luvvie fest
It is a great comedy that has everything in it- namely 6 great actors and a funny script. Peter's confession is really the only one that is self-evident even from the start of the movie but Rita Rudner can be forgiven for that. Branagh is fantastic (like always), Laurie doesn't get too much screen time but he functions perfectly as a husband who loves his wife but is having problems dealing with their son's death and the crumbling of their marriage. Thompson was great as Maggie and reminded me of quite a ... Read More

Rating: - Do Not Buy This Film
Watching this film is like having been given tickets to watch all your favourite footballers brought together as a dream team only to find that a) the players are being managed for the day by Bez of the Happy Mondays b) they have forgotten how to play football and c) they have apparently ingested some combination of narcotics and hallucinogens before taking to the pitch, I would suggest possibly ecstasy, magic mushrooms and diazepam. Not only that, but the opposition is someone like Nuneaton Borough who ... Read More
