      Audience Member Mission save the pub! Well, we always look for something new in cinemas. 90 per cent of all films are based on the same old contents. This was a little different, yet I won't say it was pure new. I enjoyed it, thought better than hundreds of boring films I've seen in the last few months. Surely it does not make sense in the real world. From the entertainment perspective, it delivered, but in the British style. It had wonderful characters and cast. That little girl from 'Golden Compass' all grown up. This is an adult comedy, but nothing was obscene. Quite nicely written story. Four friends who everyday meet in the pub is now trying to save it from closing down. So they have to raise money and they come up with an idea of writing a novel, but want to stay anonymous. That's where a young woman enters that changes the fate of the book, the pub and theirs. Not probably, but surely an under-rated film of the year. As well as under-noticed. If you can watch mindless Hollywood comedies, then it is much better than them in many ways. All you have to do is give it a try. Only disappointment was the end. I did not expect it to end just like that. I anticipated emotional conclusion. That would have changed the overall aspect of the film. Still very much a watchable film, so go for it. 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice quirky Welsh movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A warm, witty and genuinely funny movie that punches well above its weight in terms of script, performances and production values. Thoroughly entertaining and thoroughly recommended! Its as though the broadsheet critics went to see a different movie... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kevin Maher Times (UK) ChickLit will possibly be remembered as the moment when the low-budget Britcom genre hit bottom. Rated: 0/5 Oct 10, 2016 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The tittering, self-conscious "aren't we naughty?" tone makes you want to drive a bulldozer straight through the blasted pub and its wretched clientele. Rated: 1/5 Sep 4, 2016 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) We get little sense of what the four authors are actually writing about other than that their prose is very purple. Rated: 2/5 Sep 1, 2016 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf The film is amiable and pleasant, though the denouement unravels rather too quickly. Rated: 3/5 Feb 19, 2019 Full Review Mike McCahill MovieMail The comedy amounts to a succession of duff innuendos, often lost in the erratic sound mix, occasionally botched altogether by supporting players apparently sourced from Britten's bridge club. Sep 26, 2016 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times A resistible chauvinism colours the jokes about female reading habits and, even though the middle-class gents have the tables turned on them, this always feels a touch parochial and smug.
