Co-written by Jimmy Carr, this is an hilarious spoof taking on all the classic British period drama tropes. Think Downton Abbey x The Naked Gun. It’s non-stop laughs with a great ensemble cast including New Zealand’s own Thomasin McKenzie, Damian Lewis, Katherine Waterston, Tom Felton, Ben Radcliffe, and Jimmy Carr himself.
A new porter who embarks on an unlikely relationship with the youngest daughter of a prominent UK family. At the same time, rivalries are spilling over in the Davenport family, led by Lord and Lady Davenport as they also weather the epic failure of the wedding of their eldest daughter to her caddish cousin.
Next Best Picture – “A near-perfect parody chock full of witty wordplay, ingenious physical comedy, and diabolically clever sight gags.” (full review here)
The New York Times – “Sending up costumey, upstairs-downstairs tropes, the movie seldom lets five seconds pass without a wisecrack, pratfall or sight gag, sometimes all three stacked on top of each other.” (full review here)
