Death on the Tyne

I am absolutely shocked with the low rating of this film. It is an amazing film, and well written. It had lots of stars I knew (Sheila Reid, Tony Gardner and many more). I think the bad reviews are because people clearly don't know the definition of the word 'comedy', if you want a serious murder mystery, get over to NCIS or Criminal Minds and stop throwing all the good work from everyone involved in the making of this.

Reminds me of the "Carry On" movies...pretty good, gentle humor. And my niece (Tracy) was awesome in it, too!

Lets pro and con this and a quick summary :

Cons ; A ferry with about 20 paying passengers ?!?! The story line need you to use your imagination As with carry on films lots of cheese added

Pros : Amazing cast Very funny one liners and well acted Great use of a simple "who done it" and "carry on cruising" Simple story line that easy to follow and very funny

OK some review's have pulled it apart and other taken it on board for whats it worth and the fun value entitled when you watch.

Summary : Johnny Vegas is the Sid James and should you watch well if you want a laugh with a easy story line that had cheese and childish humour - then defiantly watch. If not your bag then I am sure the news will be on one channel.

Good script, good cast and overall a good 90mins. It's not trying to win a BAFTA or be anything it's not. Puts me in mind of Benidorm or a Carry On spoof.

The original 'Murder on the Blackpool Express' was quite a pleasant surprise of a film in all honesty and this sadly however is a bit of a step down from the first. Keeping the 'core' of the cast and switching up location and plot crux it's refreshong whilst still parodying the basis where it came frome. A bit rushed and less fun to some extent than its predecessor there's still a fair amount of charm intact, obviously no blockbuster but for an "English low budgeter" it's a decent try
