... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreIt's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
... View More5/12/18. Incredibly I really enjoyed this quirky movie! Stuffy couple, Lord and Lady Foxley have resorted to renting out their mansion for events to make money so they can maintain ownership. In reality, a number of property-rich and title-rich but money-poor English families are doing exactly what is depicted in this movie! The movie paints O'Toole as a somewhat insufferable bore while Plowright is the long-suffering wife who is more down-to-earth as they play host and hostess to a rock band, disguising themselves as the butler and the cook. Great interaction between the band and the couple, with great music. Enjoyable movie!
... View MoreWithin the first 10 minutes of the movie, I know it's going to be a major disappointment. Just because the very sexy and cute Alicia Silverstone is in it, does not mean it can be saved, and the viewer knows it immediately! The perky, plucky, comedic music playing as the crude bunch invades the palace gives you the idea that something funny is about to happen; wrong.The band assembles in a mansion furnished with very expensive items, only to have a bunch of punks come in and immediately disrespect the place... and the old man, Lord Foxley (O'Toole)... as the young idiots play with fencing swords in his face. I find it hard to swallow that a fellow of his stature would allow such behavior.The movie continues with the silly antics of the group. Some scenes seem to have nothing to do with the movie at all, and should have been left on the cutting room floor. There's an outdoor lunch where the Lord plays butler and pours wine for the crew. Don't all Lords treat company this way? I already know at this point in the film that the "Ol' Folks" will become attached to these youngsters, however rude, obnoxious, inappropriate, and downright belligerent they are. One of the youngsters assists "Milady" in the kitchen. She compliments him by stating that she couldn't have done it without his help, where upon the guy states that "I'm gonna get me some tonight!" This proper IL' gal is about 85 years old. The thought of this idiot "getting some" from the "Grandma" is thoroughly disgusting! At this point, there have been 3 commercial breaks and I'm ready to channel surf! However, I stick with it just to try to comprehend the sheer ignorance of the movie altogether. Somebody really wrote this thinking it's somehow charming?As the Lord works in his garden, the beanie-headed bad boy gets chased by the Irish Setter, who doesn't hardly comes across as being at all a "Cujo". As a matter of fact, when they film the dog supposedly chasing the guy, you see instead the dog running along side wagging his tail. And the point of the chase was...? Surprisingly enough, the rock music they play is really pretty good. As "Benson" (they've penned the Lord) plays some type of baseball game with the crew, one hits the ball hard enough to break a window in the mansion. I got the feeling that I was supposed to cringe at that. I'm wondering how I'm supposed to feel at this point of the movie. I'm thinking "what waste of money on the whole production of the flick". We continue with the blonde drummer driving a tractor erratically to the pond (smoking a joint), where upon he spots "something" in the pond. He calls everyone to the pond where we see a young lady skinny-dipping in the pond. It's the Lords niece. When the Lord returns to the home with the Misses, he laughs at her being caught. Milady is surprised to see the Lord "laughing so much lately". I guess I'd have to laugh too if I'd found myself in such a worthless project. Peter O'Toole has been one of our finest actors. I'm wondering if he really read the script before accepting the part.Following, a jam session turns into a heated argument over something; I don't understand the squabble that sends the band members in different directions. Drummer boy goes to chat with Milady and explains that he's too stoned to continue conversation. The rest of the crew join in the parlor the play a game of billiards. OK, I can't take it anymore. This flick couldn't hold the attention of a prisoner who's spent 2 years in solitary confinement. And after an hour of trying to follow what might be a plot, I've given up.A previous reviewer talks about the poor film-making; inappropriate pans, fades, cuts, and overall lame cinematography. I concur. This is one of the worst "comedies" I've had the misfortune of coming across in quite some time. No wonder it's on 3:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning.
... View MoreThe fact that I write a report means something, I'd say. I never did this before, so the movie certainly had an impact on me. Maybe Ice Age is funnier, but this was a really nice surprise to spend my Sunday morning. I never heard of the movie but this was funny, lots of good music and good acting (even for actors I didn't like that much in the past).I've seen a lot of movies the last couple of years, and there are always people complaining, but please make more movies like this one instead of naked-gun or police academy kind of rubbish ...Keep up the good work!!

... View MoreI for one loved this movie, yes I won't watch it with my kids in the room but for my entertainment the movie just made me smile. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be deep or thought provoking but it makes you feel good inside and it won't be a waste of time. In fact if you had a bad day and feel like watching something that will make you laugh then this movie is for you. Plus I really loved the music featured on this film! I have found others just like me that loved this movie and have even started fan based groups! I give it a thumbs up! I loved the actors, they were just awesome in this movie and it was just hilarious to see the old couple trippin on acid. Not that I promote or approve those kinds of things but it was a comedy not to be taken seriously. Watch the movie and then rate it yourself!
