Kim Cattrall, Rupert Graves, Derek Jacobi, Alexander Armstrong, Nick Frost, Lee Mack, Craig Roberts, Alex Macqueen, Kate Nash, Emilia Jones, and Sebastian Croft in Horrible Histories: The Movie - Rotten Romans (2019)
Atti is a Roman teenager with brains but very little brawn.  When one of his schemes falls foul of Emperor Nero (Craig Roberts) Atti is forced to join the army and sent to miserable, cold, wet Britain.  Things go from bad to worse when Atti is captured by Orla, a feisty teenage Celt desperate to prove herself as a warrior.  Meanwhile a furious Nero is determined to crush the British rebellion, led by Boudicca (Kate Nash).  As the Romans prepare for an historic showdown with the Celts at the Battle of Watling Street, the two new friends find themselves lined up on opposite sides of the battlefield.

    7/10
    A Very British comedy with plenty of laughs and a bit of education for children and parents alike
    I must admitI didn't have high hopes for this but the film didn't sway from the horrible histories TV and stage formula and it worked well. If you expecting high brow then you will be disappointed but if it's a top British cast with very British jokes you want then you are in luck.

    The film passes very quickly and, as the plot is aimed at kids, it isn't hard to follow. It obviously isn't high budget and very much feels like a horrible histories TV special but that doesn't detract from the fun. The film is a little bit of a slow burner but soon catches on.

    It's harmless family fun for a 90 minutes and I even learnt a few things while laughing, the whole key to horrible histories success.
