1/5
The trouser-dropping 80s stage farce finally hits the big screen with Danny Dyer, to kill off any remaining British self-respect. Go to Full Review

2/5
A bizarre, ill-advised antediluvian folly. Like Jurassic Park. Go to Full Review
Charlie Lyne Ultra Culture Feb 19, 2013
It's hard to believe that the play could have warranted a 9-year theatrical run in 1983. I guess the past really is a foreign country. One populated exclusively by toddlers. Go to Full Review
Jason Best Movie Talk Feb 16, 2013
Truly dire. An offensive, witless farrago... The film's social attitudes - to homosexuality, women, marriage - appear to have been preserved in mothballs since the 1970s. Given air now, they give off an offensive odour. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
British farces work on stage, but usually feel agonisingly stupid on screen. And this is a worst-case scenario, as playwright Cooney adapts his classic 1983 farce without even the slightest adjustment for the cinema. Go to Full Review

George G Jan 30, 2019 I think Danny Dyer is brilliant in this comedy farce so many laugh out loud moments. It's a film starring Danny Dyer without one swear word but everything he says still makes you laugh. The list of famous faces in cameo roles is incredible, Lionel Blair falling through a bathroom floor is incredible and Danny Dyer falling from the side of the building is knockout... Neil Morrissey the other star in the film also shines.. if you like watching farces at the theatre you'll love this film. See more
Leia S Sep 24, 2017 Hilarious! Lots of cameos. Must see the sequel "Caught In The Net".
