MCT:May 6, 2008Two of the funniest characters I have ever seen. Withnail is essentially Bernard Black form black books if he was to ever try and become an actor. Both characters are eccentric, especially Withnail, and just hilarious. I don't feel like writing much right know so I'll just say that I thought it was great and that Uncle Monty made me cringe so much.

MCT:May 1, 2008I was looking forward to this movie; lots of people have recommended it to me as 'something you'd love' - but I was ultimately disappointed; it didn't seem to live up to the hype. There was nothing wrong with the movie per se, but there didn't seem to be anything right with it either - there were some funny moments; the cafe scene was absolute genius but the overall film left me feeling unsatisfied. It's a small puff pastry of a film, light, fluffy - good for a little bit but ultimately leaves you unsatisifed.

MCT:April 18, 2008
Depictions of twenty something men in films tend to be sentimental and rosy-tinted, but a film has never been as true about the gap between student youth and career men as Withnail & I.
Withnail and Marlowe hopelessly flail about in the pit of their artistic ambitions, waiting for the call to work. They spend their time in the pursuit of drinking and doing drugs, and trying to cope with the resulting adverse, but incredibly funny effects.
So intent are they on obliterating their consciousness, because their current situation is so bad, they don't even have the capacity (or facility) for girls. But when they decide a holiday from their sixties Camden holeout (wonderfully recreated) is needed, they find themselves on a strange course which leads them to the wilds of Cumbria and an unwanted love interest in the heavy form of Withnail's sexually repressed upper class Uncle Monty!
Moreover, Withnail & I, like all of the best films, shows something more than its immediate situation of its two characters, it is about the end of the sixties social and cultural experiments and the beginning of the seventies, opportunity for some and a hangover for others. -

You can watch this movie time and time again. Classic dialogue from Richard E Grant. You feel pissed just watching him.

MCT:April 13, 2008maybe it's just that I didn't get it since everybody is rating this as a masterpiece --but to me it was funny but lacking something
