Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

christopher-birk-725-804047 As if Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders weren't already brilliant enough with their own comedy show, Absolutely Fabulous and The Vicar Of Dibley - this little treasure was made in the late 90's. I didn't discover it until about 10 years ago but I cannot stop re-watching these episodes. French and Saunders do what they do best! Play on words, sexuality, history, periods and costumes etc etc etc.Absolutely brilliant. So many double meanings and references you get something new each time you watch it - combined with a brilliant cast with an impeccable comical timing that I haven't seen since the John Cleese days.If you enjoy British comedy of all styles this is a MUST. And if you don't like this type of comedy, watch it anyway - just for the sheer genius of these women and this over-the-top crazy show that still has me rolling on the floor.

Wenchpie If you like 'French and Saunders style' humour then you'll love this series. In my opinion it received somewhat unfair and certainly overly harsh criticism at the time it was first aired. I seem to recall certain criticisms being leveled at the character development - well what were people expecting, a high quality period drama? This was never meant to be accurate, it delivered exactly what was promised - a comedy BASED around the time of the French revolution. Other posters have already outlined the main characters so I will simply say that the cast worked together beautifully to deliver a seamless performance.A pity only one season was ever made, although apparently this was always the intention (hence the final line delivered by Jennifer Saunders), although I always felt that there was definitely scope for more episodes. It will remain a favourite with me for many years.

maz underscore A nice little one series British Comedy, brought to us by two of the funniest women in the business. Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are hilarious as these two mad-capped characters from 18th Century pre-revolutionary France. It's set in 1782, the very volatile time just before the revolution got into full swing in France. Jennifer Saunders plays the ignorantly evil and abrasive, Comtesse De Vache who is aided by her strikingly clever and ruthless maid Lisette (Dawn French) and her flamboyant and determined messenger Bouffant. Together they do their best to out-wit the Comtesse's equally evil rival Madame DePlonge all the while trying to gain popularity with the King and Queen. This really is a great little series. I'd recommend it for anyone who is a fan of not only Saunders and French, but also of 18th Century French history. It's a shame the DVD is so hard to find in Australia!

janczuk Let Them Eat Cake has been written by Peter Learmouth who wrote the good first series of Surgical Spirit for ITV, after Learmouth left as writer it went downhill. Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders have previously worked together on many projects including their hit BBC TV series French & Saunders. Let Them Eat Cake is a riot from start to finish and will undoubtedly go down as one of the funniest comedies of the 1990s. Like one of Jennifer's previous parts, this character has no morals and only succeeds in being successful by having such a lack in moral standards. Shocking, witty and very, very funny. You'll wet yourself!!
