A stinker
Stay away from this one! I bought it for the casting. How could anything starring Diana Rigg, John Cleese, Felicity Kendal, and Oliver Reed be bad? It is. Very.
The plot is predictable, and there isn't a smile, let alone a laugh in the whole of the film, billed as a "black comedy." Indeed, the movie hasn't a single redeeming feature. The music is irritating, and even the photography isn't very well done. Oh yes, and Rigg was 25 years too old to play the part she was given. See her in bed with a man easily old enough to be her son. Mercifully, we were spared a nude scene. In short: a stinker.
great movie
i think this movie is brilliant well made and funny.
i am a big fan of chris rea and he played the role very well.
i did see this movie at the cinema when it was released and enjoyed it.i have tried to get soundtrack of the movie but its not avaiable at this time dont know if it will be available in future.
At LONG LAST!!
I bought this movie because I am a big fan of Chris Rea, and have nearly every song he recorded. I don't expect singers to be good actors (the opposite is often true ... can anybody say "Madonna"?). I was pleasantly surprised at how good an actor Chris Rea is, and I loved the movie. It stands on its own as an original hilarious comedy. Anyone who likes the black comedy of John Cleese in movies like "Fierce Creatures" and "A Fish Called Wanda" should enjoy this treat. After years of buying PAL videotapes and German language only DVDs of this movie, I can finally watch it properly. Let's hope they bring out Chris Rea's other movies, "Soft Top, Hard Shoulder" and "La Passione" next!
