I think you have to have the British sense of humour to enjoy this film. It is star studded if you're into British film and TV. The film is about Bulla (Rick Groves) who is released from prison and wants to re-establish his criminal empire. Along the way we meet his eccentric friends and enemies as well as wrestling and criminal dwarves. Ricky Groves (Bulla) is one of those faces you recognise but don't know the name of. Other stars will be well known to British soap viewers. This film is full of laughs. I don't think there's a serious line in it. Groves is brilliant and stands out as an actor who has been very much overlooked. He's a brilliant comic actor. He manages the most outrageously funny lines with a straight face and aplomb. The scene where he describes he dwarf ancestors is a stand out moment. (You have to bear in mind that Ricky is a BIG lad).
Laila Morse as Aunt Queenie also deserves a special mention. The 'Jack and Danny' line was brilliant.
If you're feeling a bit down, stick this on. If you don't get a laugh out of it you need your Uncle Ned looking at.
Oh yes. A haunted pub is also included.
