Excellent but underrated film

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I had seen "Love, Honour & Obey" some years ago and remembered it as not that bad. It wasn't as original as "Trainspotting", as funny as it wanted to be and the gory scenes seemed a little too much just wanna be provocative, because it might look great on screen. But it was OK to watch.THIS FILM was not a little bit of of any of it. The poor quality was alright for the camera, because it belonged to the story - but unfortunately I could not find one character that could have awakened my interest. I watched a lot of stupid blokes doing stupid things and I don't belong to the people, who get off on watching women either being beaten by their boyfriends or portrayed as whores, who in the end get what they deserve. Oh - and Jude Law was so convincing that I was happy, when he eventually got killed. Actually the killing scene was not that bad.So far: matter of taste.The story was told in a confusing way, but you could get used to that. And why put so many characters on a film, if you then don't know what to do with them? But maybe they thought it wouldn't be necessary to develop characters because of all the cool violent scenes - why bother with a decent script?

If you liked Love Honour and Obey you'll love this one.All the same crowd Winstone,Burdis,Jude Law,Kathy Burke,side Frost,and the little fella that got stabbed in Love Honour and obey etc etc.Lots of comedy,a good story and a twist at the end.Sadie Frost plays Judes widow and it all revolves round a video Jude was making.Sadie gets all Judes friends round at the wake of his funeral and this is where the fun starts.Lots of home truths are discovered and it isn't long before Ray (Ray Winstone) gets wound up.Everybody at the wake is in some way offended but the outcome is top notch comedy.I thoroughly recommend the film and I'm sure if you enjoyed Love ,Honour and Obey you'll like this too.

After watching loads of movies lately, this has been a good experience for me. We see an amazing young Jude Law and his crazy he unfold on camera. The basic idea of this film is magnificent, though parts of the ending didn't quiet do it for me. The script was great and the whole "reality"-thing works a lot better here than in crappy TV-series. The story in general is very dramatic and these friends have a lot of skeletons in their closets - more that most people. But they seem "real", non the less, thanks to nice acting. The main theme "Friendship" in portrayed in a new and interesting way, it made me think of a lot of things - definitely a movie worth watching, if you're looking for something non-Hollywood.

There is one word I can use to sum up this film: weird. It's one of those films that, even though you're thinking it's really quite slow and boring, you can't actually get up and walk out of it because it is nevertheless still gripping. Not a film I would particularly recommend for anyone to spend their hard earned cash on, but not as bad as some reviews have made out. It would probably be better watching it in the comfort of your own home.
