Amiable black comedy, 2 December 1999
7/10
Author: Dodger-9 from York

An intriguing, amiable black comedy with a host of familiar faces which looks like it's set in the same off kilter world as Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Vicar of Dibley. In fact the film-maker seem to have examined the work of Richard Curtis so closely, you might think he had written the script. James Fleet (from Four Weddings) plays the 45-year-old mothers' boy who's not quite all there. When his mum dies, he doesn't quite rush to get her buried and thinks nothing of firing on her best friend (little wonder as she had just tried to steal the deceased's favourite painting.) A fine supporting cast including Dawn French, Francesca Annis, Peter Jones, Joss Ackland and Duncan Preston keep this ticking over and although it may lack the brilliance of Curtis' scripts, Milk is a far from sour experience.
