Having seen a preview screening of this film last night, I have to say that it's not one that I would probably have picked to see normally. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was a reasonably enjoyable romp. The acting by the two Dames (Maggie Smith and Judi Dench) was superb as always and whilst I might not buy the film once it comes out on DVD I'm sorely tempted to pick up the soundtrack.
Whilst it is not intended to be a comedy, there were a number of comedic moments in the film which did help to lighten the mood a little. I think the only thing that let it down in my eyes was that parts of it felt a little slow, especially at the beginning.
To summarise, if you enjoyed Iris you'll like this. If you're over 50 you'll like this. If you're anyone else you'll tolerate it but not necessarily enjoy it. I give it 7/10
