Haunting movie, with a subject that will have you cringing, or crying.
Wonderfully cast, great setting, and the background music fits like another cast member.
Not as funny as the TV series, but still has plenty of laughs.
The movie is centred around Rigsby ( Leonard Rossiter ), and it seems to have taken some of the sketches from the original TV series and put them together to make a movie version.
Sadly, for me, it was missing the presence of the brilliant Richard Beckinsale who sadly passed away the year before the movie was made, but it starred the other usual suspects, Leonard Rossiter, Don Warrington, and Frances de la Tour. Replacing Beckinsale was actor Christopher Strauli, who was never going to cut the mustard as a replacement, he was OK though. Then there was Denholm Ellliot as Charles Seymour, who put in another great performance, just as he always does.
The story line is pretty much centred around Rigsby chasing after the woman of his dreams, a con man (Denholm Elliot) and an art student named John (Christopher Strauli) with a complicated love life and a will to wind up Rigsby.
Summing it up, a very watchable Movie, lots of laughs, a cast that seemed to gel together well, but sadly lacked the same punch as the TV series, but that might be down to the fact Richard Beckinsale wasn't there.

Not a movie i'd watch again to be honest.
It jumps around too much, flashback memory scenes etc, and subjects of prostitution and Incest..Not to everyone's taste.
It stars, Kelly McDonald as Stella, Peter Bolam as her pimp, and Ewan Stewart as her creepy father.. All really good actors to be fair.
The movie is just too slow, with a couple of exciting scenes thrown in, but a bit sporadic.
Filmed in and around Glasgow and London i believe, for those of you that like to know locations..
I'd give it 4 stars, as it does have some really gritty parts, but overall, it's just too slow.
