(and by that i don't mean picking up trans-sexual hookers).<br /><br />I'm never quite sure what I feel about these films.. Something in me hates them for their self-satisfied smugness. Round up a bunch of mixed types, including as many minorities as you feel like, ensuring at least one varied disability per film, give them all well heeled life styles in which they never seem to actually do anything useful.. Stick in a few British acting National Treasures.. follow a predictable boy-meets-girl-boy loses-girl with a happy ending plot and.. repeat ad-nausium.<br />I really should hate these films.<br />And yet I've never been failed to be entertained (on first viewing) by any of them. Even the well doddgy 'The boat that rocked'<br />(explanatory note to non UK readers; For the past year, we have had a seemingly constant series of revelations and arrests of top names in 1960's TV/radio music light entertainment for the type of underage sexual exploitation shown as humerous in 'The boat that rocked')<br />RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
