Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's what could be termed a gentle comedy, this story about immigrants trying to blend into the fabric of rural British society; a routinely pleasant small comedy that explores Britain's immigration issues and relevant enough to touch a nerve anywhere
Rotten: One could wish that this parable of difference and tolerance gladdened the heart, but its effortful comedy has quite the opposite effect. It's just weedy.
Fresh: It's a shame for John Pilger that The War on Democracy, his documentary about how Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez is a symbol of the growth of people power in Latin America, is being released at a time when Chavez has shut down TV companies that oppose him.
Rotten: Well-intentioned, and well-cast, this British movie is nonetheless desperately underpowered.
