    This movie is very funny! Most of the gags are of the "anguished English" type, like mixed metaphors and such. I accidentally turned on the subtitles before the move started and I think that made it better. There were so many play-on-words and spoonerisms, that being able to read what was said helped me catch most of the jokes. It was very witty. I loved it.

    LOVED IT!!!!!! One of the best movies I've seen in a long time!! Emily Watson is a great actress, as were the rest of the cast!! Loved how she would change phrases, like "looking through a needle for a haystack." Hilarious!!!!
