One of the best films for ages!

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2006)

I absolutely LOVED this film, and left the cinema with a headache from laughing so much! It had an absolutely perfect cast (I couldn't say which of them was best: it was a real ensemble effort and wonderfully balanced), a brilliant story, and an excellent balance between humour and pathos.
I wouldn't want to put spoilers into this: I saw it with only the vaguest idea of what it was about, and part of the joy of it was letting it unfold as a wonderful surprise! If you missed it at the cinema, though, it would lose nothing being watched on TV: its visuals were great, but the story was paramount, and would work just as well no matter how it's seen. If it's not nominated for AT LEAST 1 Oscar, it'll be a total shame!
