Fackham Hall

I decided to rate this movie and write a review to try to counteract the naysayers on here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but i think this film is much better than some of the comments suggest.

I found it very funny with a lot of good characters. There were plenty of gags to keep you amused. It was also nice to see some familiar faces in the cast.

I went to see the remake of The Naked Gun. Which i didn't find particularly funny. But i thought this film had a lot of funny gags. Something for everyone. I think it will keep more entertained than not. Would recommend.

I honestly hate these type of movies usually, but this one was a banger! It gave me a good laugh when I needed one and delivered on the comedy. It never felt like it went to far and had taste compared to others in this genre. Im not sure how it would hit the second time of watching this, but i truly enjoyed watching it this time. Happy it made it to my local big screen, with one time slot a day.

Watched at AMC with Heather on 12-5-2025.

If you want to have a serious night then don't watch this movie. It's pure silliness which is what I was looking for in a movie tonight. I enjoyed the dry humor and puns. The murder mystery was a nice addition, but it didn't take itself too seriously either. All in all I feel confident in saying that you should Fackham Hall if you can.

Hadn't heard so much laughters in a theater for a long time. Airplane meets Downton Abbey. The cast is excellent. Damien Lewis especially shines. 90% of the jokes delivered. It is indeed a fun filled 1.5 hours - perfect length for a comedy. I enjoyed it being irreverent, fast paced and nary a dull moment. Definitely a movie to lighten up the holidays.

I saw this in a busy, raucous theater in NYC, and I think that's the best way to experience this film. We laughed and giggled for pretty much the entire runtime, so it gets a 9/10.

It is such a fun, silly movie. If you're willing to take it on its own terms and have a good time, it can be an instant comfy classic comedy. Some jokes are clever and smart, some are slapstick and stupid, but the film is always funny. It's a good lampoon, not really a cutting satire at all, and I'm a bit surprised at that expectation. It pokes fun at Downton Abbey, Knives Out, and even a bit of Atonement in the silliest ways.

J. R. R. Tolkien is so delightfully funny as a side character - my whole theater just endlessly giggled anytime he appeared. I'll probably watch it again just to pick out all the insane little things with him.

For me, this sits on the shelf with The Princess Bride, History of the World, and The Meaning of Life. I'm content with that. It does what it sets out to do. Endlessly quotable, immediately rewatchable - just don't go in expecting a cutting, critical darling of cinema. Go in looking to laugh for a couple hours and wonder how something so stupid could be so brilliant. Have fun. Bring friends.
