Ali is a very poor man, with a brother who is wealthy. He also has a wife who looks, let’s face it, like a man. Read more …
One day, Ali is in the woods – don’t ask – when he sees a (budget) band of robbers. The leader says a magic password and a boulder rolls away from a rock face. Ali discovers, after they’ve gone, a cave full of riches, and his life is never the same again. A strange tale unfolds, involving Ali’s greedy brother, his aspirational wife, the band of robbers, and more besides.
There are some delicious moments.
Slick it may not be, but it's affectionate and hilarious: the energetic quartet are a nice antidote to all things Krankie or John Lewis this season.
