Review of A Few Best Men (2012) by Private U — 16 Apr 2014

The first time I watched this was on a shaky coach on the way through Malaysia. Having now watched it again in the comfort of my own home, I am starting to think that tiredness and the sheer excitement of having a selection of films to pass a 6 hour journey, may have been the main reason why I awarded it 3.5 last time out. Whilst I don't disagree that this film does procure a few laughs, it is somewhat less amusing than I thought it was. A very predictable and cringey mingey storyline means that like many a film, it relies solely upon its jokes to entertain the viewers. Kris Marshall is by far the funniest character; having enjoyed him in the series 'My Family', but Kevin Bishop is also central to most of the comedy.

A light hearted, amusing adventure that I would recommend watching on a long, sweaty coach journey.
