Three stars is actually two higher than I expected to give this film. Many of my worst fears were realised: wit is noticeable by its almost complete absence; peppering the film with celeb non-actors is a dismal device; and by comparison with the originals, the updated script fails to get off the ground on its own terms, but scrapes by with dozens of knowing references that (thankfully) went above my kids' heads!

So why 3 stars? Firstly, Rupert Everett: as an Alistair Sim for the 21st Century, I don't think they could have done any better. Everett camps up the role delightfully and looks the part (as indeed does Stephen Fry, sending himself up with gay abandon!)

Second, there is a certain energy and joie de vivre ... Read More:

"Penelope" is the story of a high society girl, born with a pig's snout due to a curse. She is kept isolated by her excentric mother, who desperately tries to break the curse by finding a blue blood suitor for Penelope. This isn't easy, every man runs away after seeing Penelope's snout, until Max that is. Penelope and Max hit it off, but Max will not marry Penelope. After this rejection, Penelope breaks free into the world and goes exploring - and much follows...

"Penelope" is a sweet, little fairy tale about accepting yourself despite your pig's snout. The movie feature excellent actors and magnificant performances from all of them. The dialogue is rich and humorous. All in all, "Penelope" is the kind of movie that makes you sigh and smile and the ... Read More:

Cold Blood - Series 1 - Matthew Kelly as the cold-blooded serial killer could be cunning, manipulative, charming and intelligent one minute; and positively terrifying the next! You never knew what was really going on in his mind from one minute to the next. When he was on screen, you could not take your eyes off of him! He was a very complicated character who was also fascinating to watch!

Jemma Redgrave gave a wonderful performance as the detective who stood up to this cunning and cold-blooded serial killer. She was a very brave and intelligent character, yet still managed to show a soft and feminine side. She made you care about what was happening to her and what she was thinking. It must be really frightening for a woman to go into a room with ... Read More:

This is undoubtedly the best thing to ever come out of BBC 3. It solidifies Rob Brydon's reputation not only as a sharp standup, improvisor, impressionist and actor, but also as a great writer. After Peep Show, this is my favourite comedy on TV. It's witty, deadpan, and hits the nail on the head every time. You won't regret buying this.

Very well done for theatre performances, but doesn't really work on television.
The tv series is maybe so funny and good that this dvd is a bit of a disappointment.
