Most helpful review My Life So Far

  • Not great but okay

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    One of those 'my funny up-bringing' films usually decribed as a 'bitter sweet coming of age film'. If you like that sort of thing, than this is the sort of thing you will like: nostaligia, a peculiar child you could not like if you reared him and a father who is worse, and a grandfather who was worse still. Laughs are few and a bit forced. Precocious young child studying Victorian porn, played for laughs, anyone? Cast tries. Colin Firth is miscast- his old loveable loser persona meets his later haughty git persona and they don't gel well. And his Scots accent... For die hard fans only. All in all too unpleasant to be 'heartwarming' and to soft focus to be genuinely dark.

    Awful film. Colin Firth's scottish accent is HILARIOUS! Worth watching to see Malcolm McDowell punch him in the face! ;) (sorry, Col!)
