This is the second film from the self-styled Fugitives, a loose artists' collective centred around actors Ray Winstone, Jude Law and Sadie Frost. Their debut, Final Cut, was incestuous and self-indulgent. Love, Honour and Obey is rather better, in that it has a coherent plot and a recognisable structure. Jonny Lee Miller, Rhys Ifans and Denise Van Outen join the top-billed trio in this tale of a courier who wheedles his way into a London crime family, only to embroil them in a deadly feud with a rival gang. The humour is laddish, lowbrow and not especially funny, while some improvised scenes should never have made the final cut. (Some of the cast are patently less adept at winging it than others.) However, the populist subject matter and attractive players guarantee an audience.

Ok
In a blatant attempt to jump on to the Lock Stock bandwagon, this film fails to deliver on all levels. Despite a super cast, the film replies far too heavily on one-liners and cliche's. There is some humour, but it hardly adds to the realism of the film, but they are amusing. The worst part is the karaoke that occurs at regular inervals throughout the film. It gets very tedious and boring and whilst it set the scene for Ray Winstons character at the start, it was not required for every subsequent character intro. In all, this was a ok film, which will give you a few laughs, but it is all too predictable and frankly unbelievable. Denise Van Outen shows her impressive rack off to the full though. I do think that it would have been integral to the plot had she been persuaded to do some full frontal nakedness, but for some reason, the director was not in agreement

Mugged Off!
Johnny Lee Miller, Cathy Burke and Ray Winstone are the only proper actors amongst a cast of 'IT' Brits - I kept hoping a stray bullet would find Sadie Frost, who made me wince she was that bad. A real shame as the film had a good punchy storyline and the odd funny one-liners but overall failed to impress.
