"Imagine a Cheech and Chong pothead comedy, only instead of two scruffy lowlifes, the movie is about an aimless Scottish gardener and a middle-aged British widow with a green thumb.

Grace (Brenda Blethyn) hat gerade erfahren, dass ihr kürzlich verstorbener Mann sie mit einem riesigen Schuldenberg zurück gelassen hat, als ihr Gärtner Matthew (Craig Ferguson) sie bittet, ihm zu helfen, sic ..."

"For sixpence you could purchase a ticket showing the names of six stars. About
two dozen photographs of film stars were illuminated alternately and then the
light came to rest on one of them, and if the name of that star appeared on your
card you tore off the little tab at the end. The original hanging chad! The first
person to get all six stars was the winner. This was such a glamorous game –
Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner, Grace Kelly, ..."
"En découvrant Citizen Kane plus de vingt ans après sa sortie, Jean Gabin se serait exclamé auprès de son ami Audiard : "Ben mon vieux, vous avez du le sentir passer, celui-là." C'est un assez joli résumé de l'effet qu'a effectivement produit le premier film d'Orson Welles dans l'histoire du cinéma. Pourtant, Citizen Kane ne s'est pas fait sans peine. C'est ce que démontre ce long métrage d'excellente facture, sobrement mais impecca ..."

"Outside Edge is one of the most English comedy series you will find - it's amusing rather than hilarious, with characters that first appear to be stereotypes but who gradually reveal very recognisable and genuine layers of humanity. Originally a play (which was televised in the early 1980's with Prunella Scales and Maureen Lipman) the series develops the characters and situations at what could be described as a gentle and leisurely pace ..."

"Pumpkin scores bonus points for risk-taking satire, but it?s the right movie made by the wrong people. Despite an able assist from star and coproducer Christina Ricci, first-time codirectors (and USC film-school graduates) Anthony Abrams and Adam Larson Broder lack the delicate touch required to pull off a comedic romance between an idealistic sorority girl (Ricci) and the semi-retarded, physically challenged boy nicknamed Pumpkin (Hank ..."
