Surprisingly incoherent and boring

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This movie is awful, don't waist a perfectly good disc and the time to watch this please ! OK, so I got misled by the cover, featuring one of the three sisters, in a Gladiatress outfit... Which she never wares, not even a second! So don't fall for that one. Then there's a very thin story about three sisters. The oldest one is the most normal (and 'cute') one and about to become queen of some country in the UK. (We're talking Caesar-era here). Then there is the stupid blond sister, and the savage, abandoned sister. The about-to-become-queen gets kidnapped by the Romans, so the stupid one is sent out to save her. Se gets the savage sister to come with her and... that's about it. There are a few minutes of 'gladiatress' action, that isn't funny, exciting or sexy at all. So this movie totally missed it if you ask me..

This Little piece of humour history will have you rolling about the floor laughing your head off - oops - perhaps not quite the right choice of words but.....If you want something original that isn't the same old tired plot line, with fresh actors and actresses who deliver their lines with sheer delight - then this is for you - Be different - take a chance - you wont regret it!!! I think that so many of the new films are all taking the "safe" way forward, and I cant blame them, but taking a real risk on a totally different idea shows conviction and courage - and I feel that the whole team that worked on this deserve credit as I'm sure you will too!!!!

Hadn't heard anything about this film but spotted that it had most of the cast from Smack The Pony so thought it might be worth a watch. I felt it wasn't as funny as the their series, which I think is just OK. The story ans script are very poor. I watched some of the extras and they talk about how quickly the guy wrote it, well it shows. Not to mention that I don't believe the port of Deal is between Ramsgate and Sandwich, but then again I don't think they were going for accuracy ;) However, despite all that I thought it was entertaining. I think it boils down to the fact that those girls just make me laugh, just them standing in a muddy field amuses me!?? Would I recommend it? Well probably not, I think you'd be better off getting an old Blackadder out, same type of jokes but at least they were original 15 years ago.

I know there are others who have found enjoyment in this film, but personally I cannot remember having seen before a film so devoid of ANY redeeming features. Having rented this film from the local video store I found myself wanting not only my money but also my TIME back. TV humour does not always benefit from the transition from TV to the Big Screen. But having regularly watched and been a fan of Smack the Pony I was expecting a comedy of merit. What I find difficult to understand is how the team that produced Smack the Pony (and were also behind excellent 'Green Wing', which I consider to be the funniest/brilliant programs for many a long while) could also produce this sorry film. It was vaguely reminiscent of a Carry On film but was far worse than the worst of any of them and the 'lets sit round dinner and have a farting competition' scene was a direct steal from 'Blazing Saddles'. The simple fact is that the plot made no sense and it was simply not funny. The title was the Gladiatress yet none of the sisters become one (they were simply put into the arena to be killed, that is NOT a Gladiator). Please, please, please don't see this film, it will only encourage them and it might give them enough money to make a sequel.
