This film goes beyond the level of letting it go over your head, it’s literally one to watch when you either have nothing to do at all – or actually leave running in the background whilst doing things. Atkinson (dare I say) is on top form as the titular character, and is sure to satisfy fans of his usual satyrical comedy. A good percentage of the audience were of older generation and seemed to be loving this film, so my suggestion is to put it on for the parents, grandparents, etc. – it makes glorious shit for the older relations. Especially if they were fans of Atkinson’s earlier work (Black Adder, Mr. Bean, etc.)

Thompson swoops in and rescues the film from being a total flop as the British Prime Minister. She has some funny one-liner’s which help it run smoothly, but without her I reckon it would have been one of the worst films I have personally watched in years.
