Audience Member So sad and depressing. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Written and directed by Scottish playwright John McKay (Piccadilly Jim (2005)), who had used his status as a playwright to get a few short films made, but it was after working on the 1999 Channel 4 drama Psychos, they signed him up to make a feature film. It was filmed under the title The Sad Fuckers Club, but the producers forced McKay to change the title. Pity really, as the original title summed up the plight of our lead characters and what they're going through. Set in a small English town, this follows the exploits of three fortysomething women. American school headmistress Kate (Andie MacDowell), Police Superintendent Janine (Imelda Staunton) and local doctor Molly (Anna Chancellor), who meet up every week and each give the lowdown on their latest dating adventures, many of them have ended in disaster. Kate has just got over a big operation removing an ovarian cyst, and she hasn't been dating a lot, but all that changes when she falls for twentysomething church organist Jed (Kenny Doughty), who was a former student at her school. They become more and more of an item, and they plan to get married, but Janine and Molly are dubious of Jed, and try to convince Kate he's no good, but she's made her mind up. It's a good comedy-drama which was little seen when it came out, mainly because FilmFour went under, (before it was revived). But our three heroines play off each other well, and there is some good moments in the film. It's a good English comedy which slipped under the radar, but there's not that much to write home about, it's just an amusing piece of fluff. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Good film, well acted with a good ending... Not outstanding but worth a watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A strange film that errs more towards drama than the promised comedy. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it, in spite of Andie MacDowell's accent. Imelda Staunton and Anna Chancellor are just fab. Watch it. Now. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Sex in the City English village style. Neither Andie McDowell or Imelda Staunton make a convincing Headmistress or Police Chief, although this is not important to the plot.
