Penelope Y I quite enjoyed this film- there’s always something distinctly different about a British film compared to an American one that I alway enjoy, and this captures it perfectly. The gritty characters, dark cheeky humour, and colourful personalities make for an entertaining watch. Somehow, they all come together to stage a heist and break out of prison, with an unexpected romance blooming along the way. The story finishes with an unexpected way. A great choice if you’re after something light, funny, and feel-good, filled with sharp lines and a brilliant British cast including Timothy Spall and Bill Nighy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review isla s I found this really quite funny. There's a good cast with a number of well known British actors, including James Nesbitt, Timothy Spall and Bill Nighy. The plot is amusing and of course some of the scenes/situations are somewhat unlikely (aka absurd) but thats where most of the comedy comes from. I enjoyed listening to James Nesbitt singing along, as he rehearsed the play that the film centres on the convicts putting on. I thought James 'Jimmy' Hands was quite a likeable character. I suppose in a way I admired the sense of naive optimism shown by some characters. Its an easy and enjoyable watch - one I'd recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A charming inoffensive film that features one of the best prison-based musicals of the life of Admiral Nelson. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A gang of crooks make use of musical loving warden to escape prison. Director of The Full Monty tries to replicate the success of the previous film by making another using more or less the same formula. The outcome is not as successful, with predictable plot development including a love affair between the lead crook and a pretty anger-management counelor, and awkward use of its setting., which makes the whole thing look shallow.
