Oh what a hoot! This film is a scream, very amusing, very watchable.
It is beautifully shot, very stylish (I think that's the right word), full of A list stars (not that that matters) - a visual treat
You might think twice about taking your Mum (maybe too many f***s) or your grandchildren (too many dismembered fingers) (it's a 15 anyway) but take yourself and have a fun hour and a half with Ralph (Fiennes) and the gang

I'm planning to see it but didn't like Moonrise Kingdom much so I hope I'll enjoy this one. Very much looking forward to seeing The Book Thief.

Have seen a couple of trailers. Not my sense of humour at all.

Saw this film during the week. It was rather peculiar and I didn't find it hilarious although there were one or two laugh out loud moments.

If I'd been watching it at home it probably wouldn't have held my attention, however it was beautifully shot as has been said already. Not on my will watch again list but perhaps my sense of humour just isn't tuned into this kind of comedy.

We decided not to bother after I saw a longer clip.It looks very stylish but not to my taste.

ai'll have to wait for the DVD but it looks like fun! I'm glad that you enjoyed it MrsM.

Just home from seeing this - loved it, very funny and whacky. I would certainly recommend it. Even funnier was that the staff forgot to start the film, so after 20 minutes, yours truly was volunteered to go and sort it out - fortunately we weren't subjected to the adverts and went straight into the film.

Hope to see it soon but the car park at our cinema burnt down last week; thank goodness the cinema itself is ok.

Really enjoyed this, absolutely off the wall with a really starry cast!

This film was great fun with a stellar cast. Highly entertaining and wonderful photography. smile

Saw it yesterday and loved it. It seemed like a cross between 'Allo Allo' and a Buster Keaton film. I thought Ralph Fiennes was great.

Hasn't Jeff Goldblum lost weight? I think I last saw him in Jurassic Park.
