One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A Brilliant Conflict

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

One of the most quotable comedy films in British cinema. The central theme is man vs himself, and the story is about self-absorbed, down-on-their-luck Bohemian actors going on holiday by mistake. Richard E. Grant is wonderful as a tragi-comic thespian. Richard Griffiths is divine as the 'uncle' with lust for the eclectic and the unmentionable. It is very watchable, very amusing and very good.

if you have not watched this movie , then do so ASAP - this is the funniest and most quotable film I have ever watched , I have watched this movie at least a dozen times , and could quite happily watch it many more . Richard E Grant plays a particular good role as a drunk , especially because he is teetotal , every scene in this film is memorable and every line quotable in so many circumstances . every part is played to perfection 10/10 for all concerned both in front and behind the camera . if I have could have written one screenplay in my life , it would be this , this is also a very moving film & gets you thinking about life in general , the last scene is especially poignant , and brings you down from the high of the movie with a bang .

What can you say about this film to a new viewer? The first time you watch it you will find it bizarre and wonder what all the fuss is about. On 2nd viewing you will pick up on all the dead pan comical moments,the offhand liners,the little devious looks characters give each other.3rd time viewing you will be more familiar with the film and start enjoying the memorable lines "are you the farmer?" And "who f#cks Ase's? Maybe he f#cks Ase's", "we want the fines wines available to humanity,we want them here and we want them now" etcBy now you should understand the concept of the film and the wonderful interaction between the characters. Subsequent viewing and you will be hooked. That's fine. Find your neutral space man.Ps I'm not from London you know.....

London, approaching the end of the swinging sixties. Two 'resting' actors, Withnail and 'Marwood', fed up with the damp, piles of washing-up, mad drug dealers and psychotic Irishmen, decide to leave their squalid Camden flat for an idyllic holiday in the countryside, courtesy of Withnail's uncle Monty's country cottage. When they get there, it torrential rain, there's no food, and their basic survival skills turn out to be somewhat limited. Matters are not helped by the arrival of Uncle Monty, who shows an uncomfortably keen interest in Marwood...What you may have missed on the first or even second viewing (it took me at least four) is that Robinson is basically satirising every class of person, every type of educated fellow, so no one, not even 'I' comes across as the hero in this biting movie.The titular characters are people that we see every day, educated, but rich from the bank of parents, and sitting there, miserable, putting the world to rights, when they are what is wrong with society. It's a timeless tale that's been done for every demographic, every time frame, and will continue to do so for the rest of time.But what the difference this film has from others is that Robinson demands you to care for the two. With nail is an insufferable person, one you would avoid at all costs if you saw him in a bar, but here, you just want him to make a foo of himself again, you want that Irish man in the pub to punch him, but despite all this, you like/pity him.Mar wood on the other hand is the sufferer,mother one who is misunderstood, the poet, who has a voice, but no one listens, again, someone with whom you are familiar with, but then, his voice is in his head, he rarely speaks to anyone else except Withnail, and only Monty really acknowledges both of them at the same time.So in many senses, should the film be called Withnail is I?Maybe I'm looking too much into the film, but rest assured, it's deliciously funny, Grant has never been better, and it has an awful, cold bleak feel to it, the feeling you get when the old dear bites into the egg sandwich sets the tone of the film.One of the great British comedies, indispensable.
