Advantages: surperb acting Disadvantages: alot of the good characters pushed into subplots
I was amazed when I first saw this film, it is a wonderful film to get lost in and I was surprised I hadn't heard of it before.
I am a great Lee Evans fan and so searched out this dvd and was surprised at what a great story it had. As said it the other review the premous of the story is simple, two totally different comics teach each other about comedy, but you also have the sub plots of stolen eggs, dead frenchmen and a search for eternal youth. ... ...unlikely place of Blackpool and done so with great effect. I can't think of anywhere else it could be based.
The acting is wonderful but they all seem a little eclipsed by Evans who's character seems to shine through. I imagine he was given free reign in some scenes as the other actors seem surprised at some things he does and don't seem to know how to react.
I recomend you give this film a try, you won't be disappointed. ...
