Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaVictor Maynard (Bill Nighy) holds guns with just a thumb and middle finger, with his index on the trigger. This unusual grip is because he suffers from Dupuytren's contracture, which means he can't straighten the ring and little fingers on each hand.
- GoofsWhen Victor is massaging Rose's feet, in the close ups you can tell that a hand double is used because all 5 fingers are straight; however, Bill Nighy has Dupuytren's contracture which means that the last two fingers on both hands are permanently pointing inwards. This is visible in the wide shots.
- Crazy creditsThe first item in the "Thanks to" section of the rolling credits reads:
"ASHMOLEUM MUSEUM, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD for use of 'Paul Cezanne Near Auvers-sur-Oise', oil on canvas, 46 x 55cm. This painting was stolen on 1 January 2000 and has not been recovered."
Apparently, this theft indeed did occur. Note, the movie was filmed in 2009.

Featured review
Top Quality!
If your taste is really obvious commercial and/or big budget comedies then this might not be for you but if you have a soft spot for classic British comedies that are a bit quirky, don't try to hard then this should definitely be up your street.
It has an excellent cast that all play their characters perfectly although very typically.
Rupert Everett is predictably his usual self as is Bill Nighy but both quite excellently so.
I've seen a couple of negative reviews of this movie but it needs to be emphasised that it's not a mass market comedy. The story is great and the timing of some of the jokes is absolutely perfect.
This is actually one of the few films I'd like to own a copy of when it's released.
