Review of The Band's Visit (2007) by Rob R — 05 Feb 2010

Aw what I nice film. Not a lot going on here that hasn't been seen before but it was very enjoyable and heartwarming and that sort of thing. It was good to see a film that is slow and reliant on dialogue rather than action (ie foreign) also adding loads of humour that isn't often there in other such flicks. That said, the light tone and brunette beauty did keep raising my expectations for it go Y Tu Mama and bring out the muff, but then I'd remember it was only a PG. Well, presumably it's a 12 over here, since someone said fuck at one point.

Ps I'm tempted to give it another star simply because it isn't Brassed Off.
