I must admit that I had many apprehensions before I rented this movie, because frankly speaking I hate movies made by their makers for arts sake.
But the shining new DVD in the New in Today section proved to irresistible and I couldnt help renting the movie.
The movie started with the fish song which despite myself I found delightful and the movie never looked back.
PLOT IN COMMENTS IF WANTED!!!
The humour was subtle, stupid, irrelevant, and very British and even though I may not have laughed out loud even once in the movie I was in a state of constant smiles spread with the occasional laugh. All this while my mother and sister sat besides me complaining about how stupid the movie was hehe.
The characters were all portrayed brilliantly and even though I have not read the book I got a feeling that they had done justice to it.
I recommend the movie to anyone who likes such irrelevant and childish movies and also to the lovers of art house movies.
However as I said please dont expect anything from the movie not even surprises.
And please dont show it to your family or friends who like the movie to be plain and simple like black and white, watch it alone if you have to, and Enjoy the Ride!
