Worth a watch if you're a Stephen Fry fan.


Also, I should mention the sublime Roger Allan is in this. Sorry to say that is all this movie has to recommend it. The plot is silly, in an unintended way. It wants to be clever, but it's not. Too bad because it's a waste of so many good elements- witty novel, good actors, beautiful scenery, etc. It tries to be Gosford Park, which Stephen Fry acted in, but it completely misses the mark. Still, it's worth a watch for the above mentioned men. 5.5/10
