If you liked Love Honour and Obey you'll love this one.All the same crowd Winstone,Burdis,Jude Law,Kathy Burke,side Frost,and the little fella that got stabbed in Love Honour and obey etc etc.Lots of comedy,a good story and a twist at the end.Sadie Frost plays Judes widow and it all revolves round a video Jude was making.Sadie gets all Judes friends round at the wake of his funeral and this is where the fun starts.Lots of home truths are discovered and it isn't long before Ray (Ray Winstone) gets wound up.Everybody at the wake is in some way offended but the outcome is top notch comedy.I thoroughly recommend the film and I'm sure if you enjoyed Love ,Honour and Obey you'll like this too.

Wow, what a sub-par movie. Just because the script is improvised isn't an excuse to skimp on plot and acting. The only redeeming aspect of this movie was seeing Jude law in his underwear for 5 seconds at the beginning of the movie, you can just turn it off after that. You know the ending as soon as you've met all the characters. Ray Winstone gives a semi decent performance but the actress who plays his wife and the Sadie Frost do a very poor job. Jude is alright I guess but then again you only really see him in snippets and half the time it's just what I'm sure he thought were wry one liners that just kind of seemed contrived on viewing. Jude doesn't make the best choices when it comes to movies (just look at Music from Another Room), and this is a prime example. Someone needs to fire their agent.

I knew nothing at all about this film before I went to see it, so I was very surprised by it's content. Basically, a group of friends gather at the wake of one of their friends who has died. At this wake, they are shown a video that he has produced consisting of secret film taken of them all. This video gives away some of their deepest and darkest secrets, as well as giving an insight into what they really think of each other. For about the first fifteen minutes I found myself lost as to what was going on, but then it all starts to become clear and leads up to the sting at the end. Be aware though that the language is very strong and some of the actions in it are quite explicit. Despite this, though, I found it very enjoyable and I was absolutely hooked to it for most of the time. As an aside, if you've ever watched 'Operation Good Guys' on BBC you will recognise a lot of the cast.

There is one word I can use to sum up this film: weird. It's one of those films that, even though you're thinking it's really quite slow and boring, you can't actually get up and walk out of it because it is nevertheless still gripping. Not a film I would particularly recommend for anyone to spend their hard earned cash on, but not as bad as some reviews have made out. It would probably be better watching it in the comfort of your own home.
