Midsummer Murders meets Bad Boys 2

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2007)

I saw the film on the opening night yesterday. It was excellent. It is fast paced, the humour is continuous and the audience loved it. Most of the filming was on location in Wells, a small medieval city in Somerset where a lost Swan is a major incident. Much of the heavy action takes place in the centre by the Bishop's Palace, which for the purposes of the film represents a castle. The location is real, the buildings are real so mixing this all up with enough fire power to start your own revolution is amazing to watch. It is difficult to keep up with all the film references as they come fast and furious. The cast is full of English character actors and comedians who have had film leads and headed comedy programmes in their own right. This was not just an excuse for a few sight gags and a few jokes. The plot was good, the timing great and if you want a good belly laugh this is the one to see.
