AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

bettycjung 5/12/18. Incredibly I really enjoyed this quirky movie! Stuffy couple, Lord and Lady Foxley have resorted to renting out their mansion for events to make money so they can maintain ownership. In reality, a number of property-rich and title-rich but money-poor English families are doing exactly what is depicted in this movie! The movie paints O'Toole as a somewhat insufferable bore while Plowright is the long-suffering wife who is more down-to-earth as they play host and hostess to a rock band, disguising themselves as the butler and the cook. Great interaction between the band and the couple, with great music. Enjoyable movie!

arfdawg-1 Small crappy Brit film that will bore the crap out of you.The PlotElderly aristocrats Lord Charles and Lady Diana Foxley give their staff - butler Benson and cook Margaret - a one week vacation while the Foxleys visit friends as they have rented out their historic mansion for that week to a multinational corporation. As they are proud people, what no one but the Foxleys are aware of is that they are doing so only because they are in dire financial straits, and desperately need the money to retain their outwardly lavish lifestyle. But when the agency through which they hired the temporary cook and butler for the renters goes bankrupt leaving them with no temporary staff, Lady Diana believes the only way they can get away with this rental plan without incurring a costly penalty or to advertise their financial problems is to act as "Benson" and "Margaret" themselves, much against stuffy Lord Charles' wishes and despite they not knowing how to be domestics.

Travo71 OK, this was such a total predictable piece a crap. Basically an after school special gone band and insulting to anyone who ever picked up an instrument. Someone was really screwing some studio exec to get this made, geez, and how did they get a cast to agree. I saw it on TV and want my money back. The person that said it said it was new to them, dude, what 0.99 cent bin do you look for movies in. I may be a little harsh but most of these actor I like and for them to lower themselves to this stuff that was probably written by a C average high school student is pathetic. This made Bring it on all or nothing look like the Godfather.

spoken This refers to the TV version, so I might have missed something edited out.After reading the TV listing's blurb I was set for a boring movie. Boy, was I ever surprised. Before the first commercial I was treated to people who have very realistic appearances (they look like everyday people), new takes on some old humor, evil corporate bullying and delightfully lovable English nobility who can pull off a harmless stunt when cornered by life's uglier realities.Then came the Young People, otherwise known as an American band called Global Heresy, but they weren't the stereotypical, eye-rolling groaners. Definitely hip, loud, raucous and irreverent, they had good hearts as well as useable brains.I'm not sure why some people have a problem with O'Toole in this role, though I can guess that some people like their dramas straight-up and don't want O'Toole to be comedic. I thought all the main characters were delightful, and O'Toole's portrayal of a nobleman forced to "lighten up" is something special to be seen.I have *got* to see this again!
