I'm probably with your friend, Jayne. Actually, that's a bit harsh. It was harmless enough, but the audience I saw it with last week only laughed once (at the lyric "I see it clear with just one eye"), which is probably quite bad for a comedy film. It was sort of a poor man's "Out Of Sight" crossed with a poor man's "Porridge" crossed with a poor man's "The Great Escape" crossed with a poor man's "The Producers". And of course to asert its Britishness it had to open with a botched bank heist!

Julian Barrett was very good in it I thought. And don't you think James Naisbitt's absence of sideburns makes him look like a poor man's Robbie Williams?

Your friend is my friend, too, Jayne.

Lucky Break is pap. Barrett was cool but didn't strike me as THAT interesting. He's kind of a one trick pony really, isn't he? I wonder if it'll do as well as Full Monty. I doubt it. Full Monty honed in on that whole hen party thing that took off in the mid nineties. Lucky Break doesn't offer any *squeal* willies, it's just about a bunch of blokes in prison. Yawn.

If I had a quid for every time I've heard people say, "Christopher Plummer's in it?! Good grief, I thought he was dead", I'd be one rich boy.

You haven't proved that your concept field is associative and commutable yet. What are your axioms?

>cunt-(nonce+badspelling)=shitjoke

So that leaves us with:

badspelling + badjoke = 0

Which seems quite an important result.

Obviously, badjoke = shitjoke.

>>cunt-(nonce+badspelling)=shitjoke

> badspelling + badjoke = 0

> badspelling + badjoke = 0

In fact, it would seem to sum up this entire thread.

Well, I went to see Lucky Break last night. I walked out.

The main lead characters were alright (Nesbitt, Spall and xxx) but all the other characters were one dimensional plot devices. The 45 minutes I saw wouldn't have filled 10 minutes of an episode of Porridge, and the plot was signposted in excruciating detail (Nesbitt slagging off musicals until the governor mentions the old chapel: "What? The old chapel you say?"). Utterly, utterly shit.
