It just struck me as a vehicle for the [very good] cast to dress up 1920s style and swear like second-year boys. There was a degree of tittering in the audience from people who liked it but not much, to be honest. I have to say, the TV trailer appealed to me but it turns out that was highly sanitised.
I hope you do enjoy it, though. It would be a shame if you went all the way into the pictures and, like me, didn't enjoy it.
Time for a wee [connected] rant. I don't go to the pictures often. The last time was December 2023 when Orchidette got me a ticket to join her for a showing of Shop Around the Corner in the GFT. That was great. I love the film and had never seen it on the big screen, and it started bang on time. Today Mrs O was in a bit of a flap trying to make sure we got there on time cos we live in the country and the bus service is hourly at best. We were there in plenty of time but there was fully 35 minutes, probably nearer 40, of ads and trailers before the film started. All that time watching shite ads for shite and shite trailers for shite films I had no interest in whatsoever. Is that what happens in all cinemas these days? Maybe I'm as well not going often.
Rant over.
For now.
