This is the stupidest most self degrading film I have ever seen.

I have left it running while I write in case it shows a single redeeming moment.

It doesn't.

Even worse I have just read that the cast were given a free hand with the script ie to make it up as they went along after which some editing took place.

Amazing waste of time and materials to turn out such dross.

Constant toilet humour, pantomimically hideous sexual themes, hammy childish attempts at acting, impossible characters.

You begin to feel embarassed at beigng human watching this!!

It does nothing and goes nowhere.

A complete waste of precious resources to make this foul-mouthed trashy waste of time.

I have just thoroughly enjoyed this charming film well acted well directed and very funny.

I am however at a loss to understand the objections of reviewers here to a mixed casting as being anachronistic.

I am a great supporter of this kind of production and don't believe that our culture will progress in peace until we stop minutely observing the particular shade of someone's skin in relation to their acting abilities or suitability for a part.

This is present day acting from within a subtly changed British population.

Those of us who think that people with either slightly or markedly darker skin than 'average' should eternally be cast as servants and slaves when telling a story of earlier times, need to reassess their own anachronistic attitudes.

Incredible as it may seem to some; people of varying shades of skin are capable of portraying and understanding any number of roles in any dramatic production and it's time we stopped "seeing" and examining what hue we are in relation to the parts we take.

I celebrate productions which take this stance. It is not tokenism it is celebrating present reality.

This was an excellent production, bitter sweet humour with an entertainingly fictitious tone.
