Featured reviews
Firstly I sat and read the reviews on this site for this movie, and decided that this film was not for me. On arriving at the cinema however this was the only film I was able to see, and I was totally surprised. Both my friend and I enjoyed the film from start to finish. Ok, compared to Lock Stock its nothing, but as it is, I found it a very amusing, albeit slow in parts, movie. However to enjoy this movie I would recommend only those with a good sense of humour watch it.
This film is about a man in London getting involved with a group of gangsters.
This film, although is a gangster film, is in fact very funny. There are many subtle jokes and one liners in the film, which does make people laugh. The sets in the film are often simple, but it still looks thoughtfully created. The dialogs are very British, which could be an impediment for it to have appeal in the United States.
Jude Law is a gem in the film, his character is memorable and remarkable.
Another notable thing in this film is that, despite being a gangster film, it is not violent or gory. This is a big plus for non gore fans!

A quick message to Ray Burdis and Dominic Anciano - Ignore the negative comments on here about Love, Honour And Obey. The people who've written them may be lacking in a sense of humour. We can tell that you all had an enormous laugh making this film, and what makes it work is that you made us laugh with you. Not only is it hilariously presented, it has an excellent story and I loved the revivals of Avenues and Alleyways & Fireball XL5!
All I can say is thank you for treating me to an hour and a half of quality British cinema :-)

I seriously don't understand some of the people who comment on this site.
THIS FILM IS AN ABSOULUTE 24 CARROT GOLD ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION.
This is my first comment on this site and I simply couldn't read the garbage written about this film without saying something.
This is one of my all time favourite films. The characters are superb and some of the scenes are just pure comic genius.
MAY I REMIND EVERYONE WHO DOES'NT KNOW.....This movie was all done ad-libbing, on the spot with a very loose script. And the single greatest thing about this film is that 90% of the humour is on the spur of the moment. When Ray and the gang are laughing.......THEY REALLY ARE LAUGHING.
Anyone who didn't enjoy the the comedy in the shootout scene in this movie doesn't possess a sense of humour. Simple as that.
AWESOME MOVIE Don't let any of these 90 year old, Pride and Prejudice loving fools tell you any different.
P.S.....never read ratings on this site BEFORE watching a movie, only AFTER. I have nearly been put off watching some right gems because of bad scores on IMDb. On the other end of the scale, I have watched some right tripe with scores of 10/10.....A mistake I will no longer make.

Contrary to the other reviewer, I end the film wanting to add it to my collection. This movie has most of the elements of my favorite films, which sometimes include a bit of fun, self-indulgence, glam and humor. Oh, did I fail to mention gratuitous violence (ala the Catholic school girl from Kill Bill or the James Gandolfini scene in True Romance)? Jude Law makes me smile throughout the film, I see what he saw in Sadie Frost, and I must say Ray Winstone (Sexy Beast) is by far my favorite British mafioso. Great performances by Kathy Burke (Sid and Nancy), and Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill). The gang from The Sopranos never had this much fun. Someone else watch this movie, so I can find out if I'm crazy....no one appreciated Very Bad Things but me! :)
