The Best of British Humour!!

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 1999)

What a fantastic film!!
Every now and again a film emerges that just knocks everyone who sees it for six and this is definitely one of them!!
With a great cast; mixing relative unknowns with some familiar faces (one of whom is for all the wrong reasons - until now that is!!) the film draws you in from the start. From the cameos from faces you know you've seen before to scenes that are just so preposterous you can't help but laugh - even though you know you shouldn't.
The film makes you laugh with and at the main protagonists like the best of books. I saw this again recently on the plane and watched it over and over and over on the 9 hour flight back from LA on Virgin Airlines - the best airline entertainment I've ever experienced.
By far this has been Sting's best film (and I'm a BIG Sting fan - but his movies have been pretty lame before this one) which was also a big plus. In fact there's nothing bad that I can even think of to say against the movie. I'm just sorry I missed all the hype prior to its release - I was in the US when it came out in the UK and now I'm in the UK as its being released in the US.
God I hope all the rumours of Vinnie and Madonna are true - Americans are so..........!
