leiahyne Review of It's Your Move

It's Your Move (1982 TV Movie)

This is English Humour and that's what makes it difficult to understand?

[6/10 · 10 July 2005]

I first saw this film many years ago, when I too was hoping to set-up and purchase my own first home. I have only recently discovered that I could buy a DVD copy and I will probably do so now. The problem some people have with this film is it's English Humour that makes it difficult to understand? Read Bill Brysons books on UK life and you'll begin to understand. If you grew up in the UK post-WW2 the incidents in the film where just magnified versions of daily life for many of us. I know sad and pathetic! But by just visually demonstrating these events no words are necessary to enjoy surely. I fear that the UK viewer and the USA viewer will remain divided by a common language and a different lifestyle, though we still hope to emulate that of our American cousins.
