Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
smurfboy American shows are notorious for including supposedly 'British' characters played by American actors making appalling attempts at an accent. (Think Anthony La Paglia in 'Frasier'...) TV pundit Victor Lewis-Smith once described Honey for Tea as 'Britain's revenge'. Felicity Kendal plays a pushy American mom desperate to get her son into a posh boarding school, and her accent is so bad it makes you want to cut your ears off. The woman sounds like she's never even heard of America, let alone come from there. The atrocity of Kendal's accent caused a critical slating, but it disguised the fact that the show itself was badly scripted and horribly unfunny. Not surprisingly, this didn't get a second series.
