By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLMWe found this British rom-com about the invention of the vibrator is pleasantly surprising.

3 stars for Maggie

Gyllenhaal is great but as are all the others in the terrific little English film. Funny and touching and not as dirty as you would imagine. Evereet needs to lay of he botox though- Was this review helpful to you?

(23)Maggie G catches the eye
By PaulHappy (144 reviews) , 19 May 2013This film has funny moments whilst dealing with some more serious themes at a lighter level. Most of the characters are a little quirky and this combined with the movie's main content lends itself to keeping the amusement factor going throughout. Maggie G puts in another really good performance and outshines the rest - she has that cheeky, quirky, bold and sexy side to her and it combines well with the serious stuff she is involved with. Do not expect a documentary or a drama as its a comedy and when seen for what it is then its very watchable and entertaining.- Was this review helpful to you?

Who'd of thought??
By a customer , 19 May 2013Well, I never! I had no idea the vibrator's history went back so far. The film dealt with what might have been a rather smutty or crude subject in a very lighthearted, entertaining and british way. Wonderful cast, great costumes and music. Just what I needed on a late Saturday night with hubby asleep on the sofa....what shall I do now....?- Was this review helpful to you?

Ooer, rom-com about early 'personal massagers'
By Midnightyarnie (5 reviews) , 19 May 2013Bloody hilarious! So glad I watched. I didn't want it to end. Excellent script, acting and plenty of light comedy. Bit of a rom-com but not as soppy as the usual stuff churned out. I really enjoyed it.- Was this review helpful to you?

A victorian invention popular today!
By glenndi (29 reviews) , 18 May 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
This film is just about ok if you want a lightweight film to watch late on a Saturday night. Whilst there is some saucy humour in it used as a device to tell the story of women receiving medically induced sexual arousal it all comes across as very juvenile. There are some good actors in it but somehow it was all very shallow. The main topic of the film is based on fact but it could have been so much better.- Was this review helpful to you?

Wonderful light-hearted and hilarious
By kloElliott (1 review) , 18 May 2013Wonderful light-hearted and often hilarious film. Rupert Everertt is absolutely fantastic! Perfect easy watching (with serious undertones & back-story, which is why it works) - But if you're easily embarrassed by sexual sounds watch out!(it doesn't happen too often) Normally I hate films with too much sex in them, so I am put off immediately, but this doesn't have any sex in it, just sexual references. So take it light heartedly and you'll enjoy it!- Was this review helpful to you?
