Who needs Carey Grant Anyway?
3 June 2023
This is essentially a continuation of TOPPER. It does need to be watched as a part two of the original film otherwise it won't make sense.

The humour's the same, the feel is the same and actually the jokes are the same. That carbon copy formula worked with AIRPLANE and AIRPLANE II and it works with this too. If you enjoyed TOPPER you'll definitely enjoy this.

There's one obvious difference: no Carey Grant . Constance Bennett therefore has to carry this alone and she accomplishes that seemingly without any effort. You don't miss Mr Grant at all but maybe that's because since this is so much of a continuation, you still think he's been in this anyway, just not in the last few scenes.

It's a silly story with silly characters but being so professionally made and expertly directed and acted, when you're watching this, somehow it feels sort of believable or at least it lowers your credibility filter down to level zero.
