Search: Starring Georgia King

This is a warm-hearted pleasure for comedy romance lovers - Austen readers or not - everywhere.

While much of the comedy might have garnered a few laughs as part of a Two Ronnies' skit back in the Seventies, here it feels dated, predictable and bland.

The real comedic heart of the film is with the still-kicking Brit-veteran oldies.

Ultimately, the film suffers from the same problem as the marriage it depicts: a lack of sizzling passion.

Disbelief is suspended by a thread so fine it is in danger of snapping almost constantly.

I found myself quickly gripped by Parallel.

While this premise could have worked well, it doesn’t – mainly because you couldn’t care less what happens to the whole horrible bunch.

It may be derivative, it may contain one too many clichés but nevertheless, the film is dynamic, energetic, amusing and clever.
