Stiff Upper Lips Reviews

Jolly good show, old chap
Given the mixed reviews I read on the Amazon website about this one, I wasn't sure if it would be any good. Fortunately, though, I was pleasantly, nay, SIDE-SPLITTINGLY surprised! It was brilliant!

Don't be fooled into thinking this is just a parody of Merchant Ivory movies. It also pays extensive homage to Ken Russell's brilliant 'Lady Chatterley' as well, not to mention having a bit of a dig at Jane Eyre/Sense and Sensibility/et al.

You don't have to be a huge Merchant Ivory fan to like this, although it probably helps. Even though the last time I saw a Merchant Ivory movie was many years ago, I still got all the jokes in this. And even my boyfriend, who has never watched anything in the Merchant Ivory genre and probably never will, was falling about laughing. Some jokes are subtle, some are over the top and bawdy, but all are hilarious.

Prunella Scales and Peter Ustinov, two veteran actors at the top of their game, are absolutely wonderful in this, as are the rest of the cast.

Thoroughly recommended!

STIFF UPPER LIPS.
THIS MOVIE IS VERY VERY FUNNY. SEAN PERTWEE IS TRIFFIC AS THE COMMIN PESENT BOY. THE WOMAN WHO PLAYS THE HEROWIN IS ALSO GREAT. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. PETER USTNOV IS GOOD AS A OWNER OF A PLAINTION TEA IN INDIA. WATCH THIS MOVIE.
