Storyline

Sandra, newly minted Lady Abbott in her lawyer husband Mike Abbott having been knighted, does whatever needed to present a perfect upper crust life and marriage, including maintaining a proper decorum. Older Bif is the carefree one, living for the moment, including not caring that her council estate apartment in inner city London is a pigsty, just as long as she can find whatever she needs.

User Reviews

One of the best films this year

Watched this marvelous film today and although most of the audience were towards the upper age demographic and are obviously the target audience I thoroughly enjoyed the film which had plenty of humour and tears of sadness and joy. Some reviewers made comments regarding the plot development but I enjoyed the intertwining story lines which brought the whole story to the inevitable but enjoyable end. The acting was superb especially Celia Imrie , Timothy Spall and Imelda Staunton but all the rest of the cast gave a great performance. I will certainly get this film when it comes out on DVD as it is certainly worth watching again.
