British, Depressing
So boring!! Also long, slow and depressing. I actually dozed off in the middle of it and didn’t miss anything. Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen star as a well-adjusted, happily married couple who entertain their dysfunctional, alcoholic friends - most notably Leslie Manville and Peter Wight. Manville’s character is a desperate singleton who has a cringe-worthy crush on Sheen’s much younger son. The film starts with an excruciatingly long doctor’s appointment of a depressed woman, but then the woman is never mentioned again in the film. Why? Broadbent (Bridget Jones’s dad, and a Harry Potter professor) and Sheen (Run, Fatboy, Run) are both lovable actors, but they couldn’t save this depressing and oh-so-boring story. And to think I wasted a free pass on this loser! Skip it.
