Jubilee

If punch-lines you heard when you were a small child, two-dimensional characters, far-fetched plot and teeth-grindingly bad dialogue is entertaining for you, then this is YOUR movie! If not, then avoid it at all costs.

The premise of the organisation of a small town jubilee sounds like a good basis for a comfortable comedy, but the script and direction of the movie flickers between both comedy and serious drama so quickly, one is not certain whether to laugh at the misfortunes of these characters, or treat the movie so seriously that all its charm goes out the window.

Jubilee is based on a book which probably should be read instead of seeing the film - there is a lot more time for interesting and believable writing (and three dimensional characters) in a book. The "jokes" are childish, old, and weren't particularly good when they were new, either. The only humorous thing about this movie is that the makers somehow convinced people handed over money to watch it in the cinema.
