Highly irritating!

What a highly irritating woman!
Poor storyline, badly acted - most irritating lead character you could ever hope to meet.
I love British films, but regret to say I cannot recommend this one to anyone.

Abigail's Party was painfully funny - this was just painful! I felt like the guy working in the bookshop, only I felt it for the most of the film.
The acting was good, the writing was good, but the leading character (although well acted), was too annoying to enjoy. The characters I enjoyed were the driving instructor and the dance tutor.
I'm still in pain now...

I went to see this film with my daughter and didn't quite know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Loved the scene with the flamenco teacher! Definately worth a viewing.
