User Review - 10/10 by Alan BThe funniest film I've seen in ages. I haven't laughed so much for a very long time.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael MAs an American who has lived in the UK for 30 years and is a member of a English amateur theatre group (Maskers) I found this hilarious!
User Review - 10/10 by Philip WThis film is brilliant if taken with a tongue in cheek attitude to the wonderful cheesy world of amateur theatre. It is a superb send up of a world that I have been immersed in for over 60 years. Love the amateur theatre? You'll adore this!
User Review - 8/10 by Ian SNice little British comedy drama with Burt Reynolds as a fading movie star who gets sent to England to act in a Shakespeare play to make money for the towns people who want to keep their theatre.
User Review - 8/10 by Paterson Dthis was really a good movie, and kind of mirrored burt reynolds's career, exc for playing shakespeare. he turned out to be a better actor after he gave up on those stunt movies. this movie, striptease, my name is earl are all very easy to watch burt grow old and funny.
User Review - 8/10 by Jayne MGood movie - English humour, funny thespian mockery
User Review - 8/10 by Nadia AA funny and charming little film, would watch it again...
User Review - 8/10 by Danielle HI liked this film. True, it was predictable, but every now and then, total predictability can be just what you wanted! I liked Burt Reynolds as a washed up older action star. I found him cranky and loveable. The british cast was also fun.
User Review - 8/10 by David CIf you like British comedies, or if you've seen TV's Slings & Arrows, then you will like this film. It's funny in a gentle way, and has a fabulous cast, including Derek Jacobi sending himself up, Samantha Bond (looking very different from Miss Moneypenny) and Imelda Staunton. If you want something harmless and amusing, where the humour of the fish out of water theme doesn't make you uncomfortable, then this is a film you should see.
User Review - 8/10 by Rob LOld-fashioned Brit comedy, but a genuinely warm film and very enjoyable. Burt Reynolds is Jefferson Steel, an over-the-hill movie star, who is fooled into accepting what he thinks is King Lear in Stratford - but is actually an amateur production in Stratford St John, a sleepy Suffolk village populated by the usual bunch of eccentrics. It starts off rather slowly, and it isn't until Steel makes it from America to England that it really starts to get into its stride. Samantha Bond, Imelda Staunton and Derek Jacobi as the villagers are fantastic, Bond especially - sample line 'It may not be a limo, but we can get Radio Ipswich!' Jacobi sends himself up mercilessly as the standard pompous character who thinks he was born to do Shakespeare (and of course he has, many times in real life!) There's a couple of really funny running jokes too, with Steel being mistaken for other stars ('It's Tom Selleck!) and two of the Lear cast coming up with outlandish ways of removing Gloucester's eye. Could have done without the agent subplot, and to an extent the daughter in rubbish plays one too, although without that the end doesn't work.
