Don't take any notice of the rubbish trailers. I only watched this because it was a free screening with drink and food, and two friends. We laughed a lot.
Minnie Driver & Catherine McCormack overhear a bank robbery, and decide to blackmail the villains. Silly plot, but it is a comedy (except for one overly graphic scene where a drop off goes horribly wrong. Nearly dropped my drink there!) A lot of the smiles are from knowing the actors, which means the appeal is largely British.
I, my friends and everyone else (25 * 15-40 yr olds) in the screening room were laughing every few minutes. If you liked Bridget Jones, you'll like this.
Mel Smith is rubbish at directing natural-sounding dialogue (it sounds like a play!), although you notice less as the film goes on. Also, keep him away from multi-screen effects. That's all I'm saying. It's still good entertainment, and men & women laughed equally loudly, which is really all the comment you need.
