THE RUM DIARY (Bruce Robinson, 2011)



I had fun! It's a good old fashioned adventure movie where you laugh and hoot and have a great old time and then forget all about it. It certainly doesn't add up to much of anything in the end, but the characters were fun, the foxy bird was foxy, it looked nice and grainy and the the whole thing trucked along at a nice pace. Later Lou told me that it was the guy who directed "Withnail & I" and Johnny Depp begged him to come out of retirement, which made a lot of sense. It's that same kind of drunken ramble that's basically just a bunch of random amusing events. Much like life! If you're lucky...
