Well, Its just cleaned up at the Oscars. Seems very few PH'ers have seen it. I thought it was amazing and the Oscars are well deserved. Is there anybody who's actually seen it that didnt like it?

Paul O'Grady (the TV and radio host) saw it a few weeks ago and said he didn't know what all the fuss was about.

You're taking film review advice from a guy who used to dress like this for his day job?



Lots of people have raved about him and his comedy, but I really don't see what the fuss is about either...

I thought it was OK... Not sure it was Oscar winning stuff, if I'm honest.

Apologies Eric, no you didn't. Something about that cross dressing non-comedian gets my goat, i see red...

He admits that Lily is now a thing of the past.

His radio show on Sunday is quite entertaining as he has a very down to earth, working class approach to life and isn't into things that may appear to be a bit "arty farty".

But I certainly don't hang on his every word regarding what I should or shouldn't watch.

No, I've seen it. As I said, it was Ok. I think there have been better films. I thought the Iron Lady was far better, acting wise, as well as portraying the real life characters.

The only really good bit I thought there was was the bit where his dream sequence.

I thought it was very good. Not something i'd usually watch, but i would encourage people to give it a go. You might be surprised.

I think the only ones on my list are the Sex and The City films. I'd rather remove my eyes with a teaspoon than watch those.

I thought it was fantastic, a breath of fresh air in this age of tat like Transformers and Clash of the Titans. And yes, Fappy Miller. Ding dong.

Saw it last week in the little cinema in Wadebridge, so small room and small screen and perfect for this film. Its a very good, very enjoyable and very clever film. Film buffs can play spot the reference all the way through. It doesn't have any SFX, 3D, sex or violence and is all the better for it as what matters is the story and how its told. I really cannot imagine why anyone would not enjoy it but you do need half a brain and a bit of imagination so maybe I've answered my own question there.

Saw it yesterday to see what all the fuss is about.

Now I've seen it I don't know what all the fuss is about.
