Product Description
British comedy. Stephen Turnbull (Edward Hogg) has not left the house for months. When an infestation of mice wreaks havoc on his precious daily routine, he starts to relive a road trip around Europe with his best mate Bunny (Simon Farnaby). The story of their debauched and chronically underfunded trip is played out in flashback, chronicling a series of bizarre and disastrous encounters including a demented dog-loving tramp (Julian Barratt), an alcoholic ex-matador (Noel Fielding) and the dullest tour guide that ever lived (Richard Ayoade). But it is superstitious waitress Eloisa (Veronica Echegui) who steals their hearts, prompting an unlikely love triangle that takes them from the industrial wastelands of Poland to the bull fields of Spain.
Product Description
Starring Ed Hogg, Simon Farnaby, Veronica Echegui and Julian Barratt Bunny And The Bull is a comedy road movie set entirely in a flat. Stephen Turnbull hasn't been outside in months. When a sudden infestation of mice forces him to abandon his routine, he finds his mind hurtling back to the disastrous trek around Europe he undertook with his friend Bunny. Two gambling addicts let loose for the first time, they are hopelessly unprepared for the adventure that awaits them. Stephen's flat becomes the springboard for an extraordinary odyssey through lands made up of snapshots and souvenirs, from the industrial wastelands of Silesia to the bull fields of Andalusia. Bunny And The Bull is a touching and beautiful journey to the end of the room.

I bought this movie because I love Simon Farnaby, and he does not dissapoint. This film is worth seeing just for the artwork in it. The sets are beautifully and artfully constructed from everything from newspaper to glass bottles, and the effect is a dreamy and surreal film which at the same time is delightfully funny and touching. I'd highly recommend it.

I must admit, given the people involved and the reports of back projection and newspaper sets, I was reasonably worried this would be nothing more than a big screen version of The Mighty Boosh, but I was driven to see it by a flood of fond reviews, and I'm glad I did.
There's a fair amount of comedy in the movie (most of it courtesy of Simon Farnaby, the British Kramer as far as I'm concerned) but a fair amount of drama too. The approach is novel but never a novelty, with the memories of Stephen (an impossible-to-dislike Edward Hogg) played out in surreal fantasy as he's prompted to them by artifacts in his rarely-left home. Essentially, the film is a road trip across Europe, with involvement from curious characters and the sort of amusing threats you'd associate with such a film. Of the cast, most impressive is Verónica Echegui, a barely contained Spanish dynamo of hilarity.
I'd rather keep any other specifics out of the review, as to see it fresh as I did is surely the most enjoyable way. I can say that if you're a curious fan of The Mighty Boosh, you're bound to enjoy it, but writer/ director Paul King's achievement is making it appealing to people outside that group as well, as a proper, heartfelt film and not just a selection of wacky sketches and funny voices. The DVD features a decent selection of extras including interviews with the leads and King, and a Shaun Of The Dead-esque flipchart feature.
A pleasant surprise, and an earnest recommendation.

Paul King's debut feature is a very interesting and imaginative journey around europe with a quirky couple of backpackers. The visual style of the film is very much in the same vein as a Michel Gondry film, but without it feeling 'borrowed'.
I always feel that managing the expectations of a film is key to getting the right people to see it. This isn't American Pie. It isn't even the Mighty Boosh, but it is funny. It is kind of slow, so be ready for that, however I loved it - and Simon Farnaby is brilliant as usual.

hmmmm
This was 'interesting' to watch, but a little too surreal, weird and wacky for me.
It's not what I'd call 'laugh out loud' comedy...

Love this!
If you love offbeat, fantastical comedy with a dramatic edge, then this is perfect for you. A brilliant cast make this film so fantastic. A great, British independent film.

One of the best films I've ever seen! A bit strange at first, but the artwork is fantastic and the story sad and happy at the same time.

Pleasantly surprised
I'm a fan of The Boosh. I don't remember how I came across Bunny, but I'm sure it was related to The Boosh. I bought Bunny expecting a Boosh movie. It wasn't. Read more
