Leigh is my favorite director-- and this is one of his best. You get a better idea of what these characters are like watching this film than you could by moving in w/them for a few months. Excellent.

Hysterically funny, well-acted, dead- on accurate look at the miseries of our middle-class lives (that we would rather not acknowledge, much less watch a movie about, thank you very much.) Highly recommended by this viewer, use it as a litmus test for your appreciation of honesty and your sense of humor in regard to this absurd existence we have created here in Have-a-Nice-Day land.

Do not be put off by the negative comments in the user reviews here! This is a thoughtful, lovely, well-made film. I would watch it again, which is, for me, the highest endorsement. I can not comprehend how anyone could find it "boring".
