I thought this was an interesting film portraying the lives of middle-aged working adults in London. The story centers on these adults and their relationships with their friends and children - although the premise seems simple, the movie has several funny scenarios to keep you interested and amused.
You have the building consultant, Howard Spink, who is also the landlord of another building. This guy is a crook who takes advantage of his friends and tenants. You have the husband who seems content with life but his wife seems like she's going through an early menopause by trying to pick fights with him and being overly emotional.
Then you have the Nunn brothers - Roy and Ray who are identical twins. Ray dislikes Howard because he feels Howard treats him like a dumb person - Howard even mentioned Ray was slow.
Roy is the younger twin - younger by 54 minutes - who is fed up with questions about being identical twins since he's had to deal with psychologists interested in the mystery of twins since he was a young schoolboy. He also shares his frustration of how he got the raw deal as the younger child from his parents since the older Ray always got to hold the dinner money and he was also forced to use Ray's dirty bathwater after him - that was a hilarious scene.
All in all, a good film without the token violence or sex scene.
I recommend this.
