Withnail & I: A Really Oddball, Off The Wall Movie About Actors, For Actors.

Tweet

I can't say enough about Withnail & I. First off, Paul McGann is absolutely gorgeous, and Richard E. Grant is one of the scariest actors I've ever seen. How anyone could overlook this film is beyond me! 'Course, there will be the few men who are scared to watch a film about two men that might have a little homosexual context in it. Franky I say poopoo to them and let us film connoisseurs enjoy a great performance. Ah, so back to the movie itself, I loved it. What did you think of it? I can recall watching it on a very raining afternoon, in the house, all by myself - and I was utterly frightened for the main characters' lives! Then there was Uncle Milty, who disgusted me, bored me, and delighted me all at once. There's so much packed into this movie - acting, actor's lives (and the starvation that ensues) drugs, Shakespeare, even England in all its wet sogginess. So did you love it, did you hate it, did you want to see it again?
