Went to see this with my senior mum and we both had a great time; fantastically sweet, heartfelt, hilarious and inspiring. And totally spot on that technology has come on so fast and strong that it leaves anyone to whom a cordless phone was a big deal in its wake. In my mid-40s I can barely just keep up with what's going on out there; I can't imagine how it's been for my mum and her generation! (well, I do know since I was the one who walked her through Computers 101, and it was nearly as painful for me to teach her as it was for her to learn!:)) Can't recommend it enough; everyone should see it - if not for a laugh, then to see the reality of what - or who - lies on the other side of the techy explosion. Totally great.
I was really looking forward to watching this movie since I loved all the actors, they'd never before let me down, and in general, I knew, even the worst UK flick was 10X better than the best American one.
But ick was I disappointed. Trite, jarring, jabbery and annoying. Kind of like an American sitcom with a British accent and without the laugh track.
It was almost as if the director (producer, writer...whatever) was trying really hard to milk the crap out of an already inherently funny & unique British Quirk - "More quirk, actors! I need MORE QUIRK!" - leaving the potential funniness to sort of backfire and caves in on itself.

FantAstic show, cinema-quality experience, fab cast of thankfully non-American actors. Considering that pretty much everything out there on TV is cheap, tortuous class-A crap (and we get an embarrassing # of channels) this is the first series in a loooooong that I've been able to both watch and more than enjoy. Am absolutely bummed that it appears they've only written one season; was this lack of funding? Lack of an audience? (that'd be weird since everyone I know plus their pet LOVES it). Boo. Come on, Hunted Execs....we need another season. Or 6!
Hm it seems I've not written enough lines. Gee how much raving can a girl do? I though less was more. OK I think this is it.
