David W An amazing cast and a great script combine beautifully to make a quintessentially British feeling comedy. Great for a Sunday afternoon. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An underrated masterpiece. With a cast as strong as this, how can it fail to be? It's worth watching just to see Julie Walters make tomato soup with hot water and ketchup... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful gem of a film with its tongue set firmly in it's cheek. A brilliantly written and executed script provides us with enough genius one liners to keep the viewer amused throughout the film. It's worth it just to see Julie Walters tomato soup recipe online. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
