Drowning Mona (2000)
2/10
If you're hiring a video, pick up a spare in case you lose the plot!
27 September 2000
Despite the fact that I watched it on a flight back from San Francisco, I nearly decided to leave the cinema on this one, not clever at 40,000 feet!

I later saw a promotion for the film back in Dubai saying it was the funniest film since "There's Something About Mary", perhaps if someone had told me it was a comedy I might have considered the option of laughing.

Maybe it's my British sense of humour but the film did nothing for me, interesting since there doesn't appear to be any comments from other Brits!

The one clever trick was that one of the sexiest ladies in show business, yes, Jamie Lee Curtis, looked very undesirable, heaven forbid!

I'm not in the habit of slating films, however it seems ridiculous to compare this to what for me, was one of the funniest films of the 90's. Call me juvenile but "There's Something About Mary", had me almost wetting myself in the cinema!

There were definitely some very talented and funny people in this film alas for me it just didn't work. My advice is "If you're hiring a video, pick up a spare in case you lose the plot!"

I can give it 2/10 for the amazing work on Jamie!
