silly yet adorable

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2010)

I think Richard Curtis might have been paying homage to Richard Lester, which is one of the reasons I kept watching, and how could I not want to hear the music? The actors certainly worked hard although Bill Nighy, always marvelous, rather repeated his Love Actually performance. One subtle inaccuracy - never heard anyone call a condom a condom in the 60's or 70's in London - they were always Durex or johnnies (sp?). Also, as I recall, Radio Caroline (I assume that Pirate Radio is Radio Caroline) used to change its physical location so they couldn't be boarded. Also, I think I remember that the station would move its location on the dial. This could have been b/c the government was simply broadcasting over them or too close. At first I thought what a load of rubbish, and then I just got into it and agreed that the time it depicts was the best time of my life. No tears. I'm not sad about that.
