A bit of a laugh

Last DVD on the comedy shelf, it was either this or "18-year old virgin" or many things that weren't quite American Pie with Eugene Levy. This won, by default, and was actually a pretty decent laugh. Burt was a little unintelligible but the British cast all hit the spot and the scenery played its part. A little bit Local Hero meets Shakespeare in Love, sit back on a slow evening and let the film entertain you. It's all fairly predictable in pace but the writing is good and delivery effective. What's more important is something like this got made and provides an alternative to all those Eugene Levy movies! No offence, Mr. Levy

Wissenswertes
In a radio interview broadcast May 20, 2013 on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdon, Samantha Bond described some of the behind-the-scenes tensions during the making of this movie. She stated that Burt Reynolds' "high maintenance" behavior on-set bore some resemblance to the actions of his character. This behavior, Bond stated, included locking himself in his trailer and having to be coaxed out by the director or producer, not making much of an effort to mix with or get to know many of the rest of the cast (Samantha Bond excepted), and not learning his lines.

Zitate
Jefferson Steel: You know what happened to the last director who thought they were smarter than me?
Dorothy Nettle: They won an Oscar?

Crazy Credits
The end credits for the main cast appear one at a time as the actors in the play take their curtain call and bow to the audience in the theatre or, alternatively, in twos as they're sitting in the audience, applauding.
