Final confirmation

Rating: Null/10 (5 November 2001)

Final confirmation that what passes for cinema in Britain these days is embarassing to the power of ten. This truly dreadful film left me considering a sharp exit from the cinema after only 20 minutes. The howls of laughter that assaulted my eardrums during the film were inexplicable; sweary mary upper middle class twits are not funny. Never were. (Fortunately, having seen The Straight Story I have been reminded why merely watching a movie can be a moving and uplifting experience.) When the inevitable sequel to Bridget Jones is upon us I shall leave the country.
