Sorry to say this disappoints more than it entertains. The only redeeming grace was Eddie Marsan, whose performances stand out even when material he has to work with is uneven. I love quirky period pieces, but this just doesn't add up.

Very touching, as well as amusing. It displays a nice feel for the time, exceptional performances all around. Well edited, fine direction and writing.

This is a relatively easy watch - its mildly amusing at times and features some decent characters. The cast includes Helena Bonham Carter and Catherine Tate. It's not a particularly good film, nor is it awful but it passes the time ok. I didThis is a relatively easy watch - its mildly amusing at times and features some decent characters. The cast includes Helena Bonham Carter and Catherine Tate. It's not a particularly good film, nor is it awful but it passes the time ok. I did feel there was a nice sense of British family life at the time it's set (the 1960s) and it had a bit of heart to it, so I'm giving it this rating. I would recommend this film, yes. Expand
