Summary: Surprisingly Funny
Review: When I first saw this movie, I didn't know it was a parody and was thouroughly surprised. After that, it was filled with blatant jokes making fun of traditional victorian era movies of the likes of BBC dramas. Some of the humor dips into the style of Monty Python as well. I loved this movie!

Summary: "She has warlike swans?"
Review: You've got to hand it to the producers and writers; in living up to the claim that there wasn't a parody of Merchant/Ivory films "..until now!" they've picked up the wit, the repressed feelings, overly romanticised locations and the achingly fierce British class war. Now if only they could have done it a little bit better.

The cast does a fairly good job, but that only covers so much ground, and the third act of the film suffers when you realise that they've run out of things to spoof.

The humour ranges between the urbane and the lewd, but then what are you watching it for? My wife and I laughed quite a bit, and it has a healthy amount of quotable phrases, which says a lot more than some other films out there.

All in all, its a cute diversion.
