An interestingly unusual British comedy, it is not very but funny but it is almost always amusing, despite a couple of silly, even if not dull, romances thrown in. The acting is the department in which the film scores best, with Jane Horrocks excellent as the title character, Michael Caine, who is hardly ever bad to have on hand, and Brenda Blethyn, who generally suits her character quite well, even if she does go a bit over-the-top at times. The rest of the characters played by the other actors are somewhat oddly developed, and it is all rather predictable fluff, but the way light and colour are distributed keeps the film rather fascinating, and it is definitely a good film, albeit not a great one.
