This movie is proof that Britain was creating great comedies before Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Written by the same man responsible for Four Weddings in Richard Curtis, this is a wonderfully funny movie following the ups and downs of an American actor's career and love life in London.
But as good as the main characters played by Goldblum and Thompson are, it is the supporting cast that are the real highlight, from Goldblum's slightly deranged landlady, to the star of the stage show he acts in played by Rowan Atkinson, with an ego the size of the theatre he's playing in. All are superb and have flashes of scene stealing brilliance.
Add in a great musical piece from Suggs, and you have a greatly overlooked gem of a comedy.
