Customer Reviews

A wry sense of humor with an English twist.

In this 20th-century period piece, Paul Pennyfeather (Jack Whitehall) is in the wrong place at the right time for us. He is a divinity student at Oxford University in the 1920s. Due to a prank by The Bollinger Club, he is disrobed, which leads to his dismissal for running around the quad in his birthday suit. The story goes downhill from here as Paul goes from one unpleasant situation to one worse, and we watch and kibitz for three hours and two minutes. The situations are so ridiculous that you may anticipate some of what is going to happen, but not most of it. The bright side is that we are introduced to some strange characters. One strange character is Dr. F-a-g-a-n (David Suchet in one of his best performances). Loosely adapted from the book, “Decline and Fall” (1928) by Evelyn Waugh. Arthur Evelyn St. John Waugh (28 October 1903 – 10 April 1966).
