Starts promisingly, but falls dangerously into the cheese category as it goes on – Cox will always be watchable, and goes for it here, but the film’s makers seem not to know the potential of their own film.
Cox is in rambunctious form and has an obvious rapport with König.
Cox’s adorable grump learns to laugh again in a British film with witty touches from co-writer Gilbert Adair, and only a faint taste of Werther’s Original.
The film is depressingly obvious and mulched with a score which is the musical equivalent of pre-masticated invalid food.
