Paul G I salute the britishness of the film as let's face it, its not going to sell well in any other country, and the storyline is about as niche as it gets. Is it any good? not really, there is nothing new here, lots of cliches with little originality other than the theme around costume fighting. Best avoided unfortunately. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review isla s This is quite a cheesy film - it's very much a British comedy, a bit of a slapstick farce type comedy. I enjoyed it as light entertainment. The cast is good (Jessica Hynes, Tim Healy, Kevin Eldon etc.) and while it's not exactly particularly memorable, its an easy and amusing watch. It features a fair amount of 1980s music, which may or may not be an issue for some perhaps?. I quite liked the nostalgic element to it though. Its a pleasant and distracting enough film, a reasonably good British comedy - no more, no less. I suppose I would recommend it, yes, as long as your ok with cheesy films about socially awkward, misfit type people. If you enjoyed the BBC4 series The Detectorists, then I imagine you'd enjoy this film, if that helps?. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is basically a "Run, Fatboy, Run", but for larping, kind of like in Role Models. The problem, if you want to call it that, is that the tone is slightly more dramatic and the resolution more confrontational. Even the larping is more of a realistic re-enactment style. Overall it's a good movie with a strong story, but it's just not a stand out. I enjoyed and would probably, eventually, enjoy it again, but there are so many movies out there, that I think I could probably recommend 10 movies with similar aspects before this.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Predictable, but with some nice twists. Very much like Role Models, without the raunch. (Role Models rocks, for 16 and up) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
