“P.J. Hogan previous movies ('Muriel's wedding', 'My Best Friend's Wedding') were not bad at all and since I have a weak spot for Kathy Bates and Rupert Everett, I thought I should check this one out. Kathy Bates is definitely one of the most underrated actress at work nowadays and it was really nice to see her havind the lead for once and she delivered a solid performance, as usual. Unfortunately, they try here to make a typical quirky indie flick but it didn't really work for me. The plot is supposed to be hilariously over the top but I didn't think it was funny at all and I was rather bored by the whole thing. To conclude, it is a rather disappointing movie and, eventually, it is not really worth a a look.” read more

It's a real shame this film never went to theaters and most people probably haven't even heard of it, because it's really quite enjoyable. A disillusioned housewife leaves her husband and travels to London to attend the funeral of her favorite pop star. Somehow a midget, a crossbow serial killer, and a gay lover in mourning is involved. Hijinks ensue. And Julie Andrews is used for crowd control? All in all a splendid little dark comedy film."
