Amy Bowker Little White Lies Clunky and affected, with too little drama to carry the narrative. Rated: 2/5 May 19, 2017 Full Review Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine Too restrained and polite to really grip the attention, this feels more like comfortable Sunday night TV than cinematic fare. Rated: 2/5 May 18, 2017 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety There's little to dislike about this second shot of "Whisky," with its appealing ensemble and hat-in-hand approach to the Ealing playbook; there's just equally little reason for it to exist. May 12, 2017 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Fairly straightforward remake. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 27, 2020 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review The film is meant to be lighthearted, and that's mostly what it is... A harmless distraction and low-grade wackiness. May 8, 2020 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed Whisky Galore! is an enjoyable film with comedic elements while maintaining a very serious tone throughout most of it, which ends up adding to the rather dry comedy and fun of it. Rated: 3/5 Apr 17, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Polly Q What on earth was the point of remaking the hysterically funny 1949 version. This is so preciously bad Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Ian M Utterly lacks the bite and flair of the original, and the accents are unconvincing from the start. A waste of some really good actors. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/21/23 Full Review rory s Nice movie. A remake of a classic movie. The movie had good acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute, but galaxies away from the charm of the original Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Good show with engaging characters - critics love to slam a show before the audience can even see it more than one time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/19 Full Review Audience Member Gregor Fisher gets the film off to a difficult start with his hard to follow Scottish accent. Eddie Izzard's performance is akin to an amateur theatrical society's dress rehearsal. Dull as dishwater, lacks any substance or reason to endure. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
