Of all the great stuff Mike Leigh has come up with in his impressive body of work; this slight, simple comedy of frayed nerves may be the best of all. Few films can make you wince and hold your sides laughing; almost at the same time, as this one. I have dubbed this for many friends and I always end up watching it again myself in the process. Let's hope they issue this one on DVD soon, but it's well worth going out of your way to find and rent the video.
