This is so funny! I've seen it so many times that i've lost count! Rupert Grint is really good in it (before he hit the big time in Harry Potter) and i just really love this film. I reccomend everyone who likes to laugh see this film.

December 30, 2006It was Keira Knightley as an extra. Has the actress playing the boys sister acted in any other film or tv programme because i really recognise her. Or is it just me?

December 30, 2006i love this movie coz its really cool, but did anyone spot keira knightley as an extra coz i swear she was in the scene where the farting boy ran away from the opera guy, and she said, "that was brilliant" coz she thought the opera guy had sung that note. i think im imagining things i dunno...
