Australia released, PAL/Region 0 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, SYNOPSIS: This British comedy is set within the confines of the snooty Dryden Park boarding school in rural England. The story centers on a lonely 10-year old boy, Magnus, whose parents are staying in Paris and cannot even be bothered to take him to the school themselves; instead, he arrives by cab. Once at the school, Magnus must endure all sorts of humiliations and torments at the hands of the other boys and from the staff. Later when Magnus organizes a secret gourmet club to help counteract the horribly healthy food foisted upon them by the headmaster, he begins making friends. The club members, using recipes from Magnus' father, make all kinds of delicacies. One of them is a homemade alcohol-laced chocolate cake that gets the students rip-roaring drunk. The inebriated chums begin splashing around in the school pool and have great fun until the Latin teacher's lovely daughter joins them, and all hell breaks loose when they are caught. ...A Feast at Midnight

Many people would laugh at you if you said that a comedy starring Christopher Lee, Robert Hardy AND (here's the shocking part) Tom Radcliffe could genuinely be amusing, but here's the evidence..... no seriously, it is funny. Lee is excellent as Raptor but the highlight is Radcliffe as the quirky Burkahrt.

Bought this a few years ago being a huge Christopher Lee fan and i could tell i was gonne love it...little did i know how much i would love it. This is a heart warming film with brilliant acting and many funny moments. Its brilliant to see Sir Lee being the strict form master known as "Raptor" by the students, i myself would be petrified of him if he were my teacher.
The best scene is definetely the Raptor kitchen scene in which it is just like the scene in jurrasic park except that Christopher Lee is the predator not the dinosaur, it will have you on the edge of your seat. Im 16 and i still class this film as one of my favourites so people of all ages will love this, especially Christopher Lee fans so buy it before someone else does! and enjoy.

I watched this film on a very long flight from London to Australia, and despite enjoying it at the time, it got lost in my memory.
When I came across it many years later, dim recolection told me it was fun, and on my 2nd watch, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it!
It's just an entertaining story. The characters are great, all very tongue in cheek, but a great way to spend a couple of hours, and feel better at the end of it.
I enjoy it so much, that I bought the video, then eventually the DVD - re-sold my video on Amazon..... of course!!
