Nice surprise!,
By
This review is from: The Actors [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
After reading some of the other reviews I thought this movie would be dreadful, and now that I think about it, that predisposed me a little bit to the negative side. However having watched it, I can say I really don't understand those people who didn't like it. Yeah, yeah, it has all the atmosphere and little flaws an independent film tends to have, but even among all that, the story, silly as it is, works smoothly due to its lead characters -and actors-. Caine and Moran shine, and that is all that counts, I think. Special mention to Sir Gambon's performance (made me laugh a lot...that toupee! lol!) and the little girl who plays Moran's niece (lovely!).
This is actually a very sweet movie that gives you a load of laughs and an enjoyable dose of sillines.

Daft, harmless fun!,
By Gilaine (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Actors [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
I saw the two names on the box - Michael Caine and Dylan Moran, and I thought "Wow, this could be brilliant!!!" and it had the potential - fabulous cast which many were underused, especially Tom's love interest (sorry, cannot name her off-hand - Lena Headey). This is your basic, I-do-not-want-to-use-a-single-brain-cell-and-could-do-with-a-few-giggles kind of film. The best part of the film is Dylan Moran, why do we not see him more often I do not know, and the worst is Caine dressed as a women - how on earth could anyone be fooled by that costume I have no idea (not that any of the "disguises" really worked either but that was their charm - but that was taking the biscuit). Most outstanding performance; Abigail Iverson (Mary) - one very serious 9 year old.

Unusual, charming and funny,
This review is from: The Actors [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
Two actors - one can't remember lines but is a wizard at improvisation; the other who can't improvise to save his life (literally) but is brilliant with lines. Throw in some loveable crooks and some not so loveable ones and you have, largely thanks to a great cast, a very funny film comedy. Michael Caine is great as usual and the supporting cast are all excellent but stand-up comedian Dylan Moran deserves a special mention as he demonstrates here a great talent for comedy acting.
