My review (Dirty filthy love)

I'm sorry - this is supposed to be a comedy? It says "dark comedy." It is dark, certainly, but comedy?... not so much.

There may be a few funny lines or moments in it, but that does not make it a funny movie, or even darkly funny. "Stir of Echoes" (a psychological thriller) had some of the funniest moments in it that I've seen in any movie, but it is still a psychological thriller.

One thing positive I will say about this strange movie - Michael Sheen can act. He did an excellent job. And how adorable is he?

If you won't stand behind our troops, go stand in front of them.

Michael Sheen is beautiful and talented, but I found him much more enjoyable in "Wilde". I noticed he put on a few pounds lately. For the role? Hopefully.

I recorded this on VHS when it was shown on ITV and still put it on from time to time. I have an interest in Tourette's and OCD, have OCD myself but its better than it was. I didnt see it as a comedy, just an excellent drama dealing with some difficult issues so probably the original IMDB write-ups' wrong. Laughing at mental health leaves me angry and uncomfortable, as its the stigma that causes all the problems and misunderstandings. Laugh WITH not AT people.
