Give It A Go If You Like Wodehouse
By A B from UK , 03 Nov 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Thought I'd try this and I was pleasantly surprised. The reviews I found were all saying it was truly terrible. In my opinion they were wrong.
Its not a classic but its fun and rattles along in a fun way. The cast are good and know what to do with this sort of stuff.- Was this review helpful to you?

By cynthiainherts (27 reviews) from Herts, UK , 14 Jun 2009Dreadful. I don’t know why I forced myself to sit all the way through to the end, and I can’t imagine why anyone would have allowed themselves to de involved in this film, be it in front of the camera or behind it.- Was this review helpful to you?

Piccadilly Jim, just a bit of fun!
By a customer from Coventry , 08 May 2009Though it is true that there are a mix of styles in this film it is still very enjoyable, its just a bit of fun really which is what I think PG Woodehouse is all about. There are some brilliant actors in it who make what they can of the film. Not to be dismissed in my opinion.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Kat.Wall from East Yorkshire,England , 18 Jun 2008I loved this film, it had all the flavour of a P.G.W comedy, I would recommend if you love period films.- Was this review helpful to you?

Yes, we like Jim!
By jslorr (14 reviews) from Glasgow , 10 Apr 2008I am sorry that so many people dismiss this film as 'terrible'. Yes, the film has been adapted with quite a contemporary take and so I can understand why it would disappoint PG Wodehouse purists, but I felt it was very fresh and the bizarre, quirky humour and boundless energy kept me intrigued throughout. Plus I thought Frances O'Connor was quite good...
The film was really quite unusual and, as a result, a welcome departure from some of the tired old adaptations of books, not to mention, countless hollywood blockbusters.
I am a bit of an Austen purist and I managed to see the merits of the recent film of Mansfield Park so please don't be put off. definately reccommend giving it a go.- Was this review helpful to you?

If you like PG Wodehouse, watch, otherwise don't!
By AMB (98 reviews) from York , 16 Aug 2007Bit of a nearly film. Not sure why they concentrated on having a storyline - this is PG Wodehouse, it's about situations and comic scenes, not storylines.
If you've watched all the brilliant Jeeves & Wooster series, then take a look, otherwise, just carry on watching J&W.- Was this review helpful to you?
