Title: MY GRADE: C plus.
Review: British humor is very much hit or miss for me and this is one of those misses. It's all about the death of a patriarch that brings his friends and other contacts together in a goofy, mismatched farce. Slow beginning big time but if you absolutely love British humor, well, it might be worth it.I watched this one for close to an hour simply because it didn't require my full attention and I was surfing the Web. I know some people out there think you have to give 100% to a movie to properly grade it but that's a lot of rubbish and just goes to show some people cannot multitask, especially when watching a film that is average or lower.Peter Dinklage has a supporting role in this but he isn't anything like his Tyrion character so don't go in with expectations.The budget was $9M and it made a bit over $46M at the Box Office.STORY/PLOTTING/EDITING: B minus; HUMOR: C minus; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B minus; WHEN WATCHED: mid July 2012; OVERALL GRADE: C plus.
