Search: Starring Hugh Laurie

Like the Cheshire cat, the last thing to fade will be your grin.

This simultaneously cool and cosy tale of families and Christmas spirit will have Aardman's pockets jingling all the way to the bank. And deservedly so.

The film is neither fish nor fowl, one thing or another, comedy or tragedy. It wavers between vulgar and vapid.

Flight Of The Phoenix has very little going for it.

The writers are crafty enough to stick to a formula yet still keep things fresh, with the 'central' diagnosis often kept very much on the fringes, so that the relationships within the story are allowed free reign.

The film has two defects. It isn't funny and Hugh Laurie is not Hugh Grant.

As a rookie director, he lacks visual flair and tends to hug clichés for safety's sake.

The best gags, at least for the over 20s, subvert 50s sci-fi movie convention.

It would be difficult to find anything but goodness in Copperfield's personal history and a delight in the way things turn and turn again.

Stuart is a great guy, when he's not feeling sorry for himself. The filmmakers let him down by not being daring enough.

A slow burner.

Sadly this doesn’t live up to this promise, although it remains a reasonably enjoyable, if somewhat predictable, action thriller.

The most infuriating Disney movie ever

This one's a little bit more for the kids, as far as funny goes, but if that's a bit of a turn off, think of it as a good way to introduce youngsters to an important part of British history.
