Great music and a good cast of odd Englishmen. The "rock'n'roll" is banned on radio concept is overblown and really insignificant in my opinion because rock music was alive and thriving not only in the UK but especially the US, the biggest market. Richard Curtis is a great writ...( read more)
Nice quirky little flick this, decent British line up of the usual top funny people and Hoffman adding an American touch of class. Its a nice film with a great oldies soundtrack but its also alittle dull, nothing too much happening throughout really, just nice musical montages an...( read more)

due stelle solo per la stupenda colonna sonora... mezza stella solo per branagh, che è sempre un grande attore, anche quando inciampa in certe pellicole... le commedie inglesi proprio non le mando giù... troppo imparentate con benny hill... 0 stelle per il film!!
