Brilliantly funny

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2009)

Well I LOVED it. Have not laughed so much at the movies for years. Admittedly I didn't go with the idea that it was, well, Hamlet or anything remotely challenging. I don't think that there was meant to be a plot in the serious sense btw! Bill Nighy just gets better and better - brilliant timing. Seymour Hoffman too - he made a fab. slightly eccentric DJ - I loved the walking walking the yardarm scene. Emma Thompson passed by briefly, but in the moment she emitted a huge sense of fun and class. Perhaps the only downside for me was that laughing is quite exhausting! Don't go if you want something soulful and serious. But do go watch it if you want to laugh. Lots.
