Thought it was a fun, whimsical English frolic the first time, and was impressed with Kelsey. Then I saw Boss, him as a Chicago mayor- my god this man has acting chops, his character was downright frightening, something I've rarely experienced (don't care to for that matter), but it convinced me all the more about what this man was capable of.
Upon watching Breaking the Bank for a second time I could better see and appreciate all the little touches and flair he added to the role. Was charmed by Tamsin Greig as well, re-enforcing English and female stereotypes, but in a very fun way.
Was very surprised to see the 4.8 IMBD rating. What??? I'm an American with an appreciation for British humor. The only crock was that a no-nothing was invested with that kind of power, and of course, that his Japanese friend and he were able to get back in the drivers seat so easily.
But what the hell, other than the usual Hollywood sleight of hand to make the story go 'round, I really enjoyed the daughters role in bringing her dad to a more compassionate place, and his final speech was just brilliant. Of course this was made in 2012, so the shenanigans of wall street were fresh in everyones mind.
