Review by GEORGE R WARBURTON
Completely different from what I expected. Refreshingly NOT dominated by annoying dance sequences. There is one. But its not annoying, and it fits in nicely with the plot.

A charming British movie. A slow starter, but you are very quickly assimilated into it. I truly enjoyed this film.
