Win Acts Of Godfrey On DVD!

April 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

The unusual and intriguing British comedy drama, Acts Of Godfrey, hit DVD on Monday via Guerrilla Films, and we’ve got a copy of the movie to give away to give away in this Twitter/Facebook comp.

A country house hotel is the setting for a motivational course for successful selling, ‘Win! Only Win!’. Godfrey (out actor Simon Callow), sets the tone by informing us that we have no control over our lives and are merely his pawns in his own elaborate game.

The hapless Vic Timms (Iain Robertson), has been sent on this course by his employers in the hope that he’ll develop some killer instinct. Godfrey has decided that he’s going to reverse Vic’s losing streak with the ladies and get him to seal the deal with Mary MacDalen (Myfanwy Waring) the gorgeous and predatory estate agent. The conference progresses, and like a twisted Agatha Christie novel, a web of connections is revealed between the various participants and past actions crowd in on an increasingly suspenseful present.

Also starring Harry Enfield and Celia Imrie, what really set Acts Of Godfrey apart is that the entire movie is written and performed in rhyme! If you’d like the chance to see whether the film can pull that off (you can read our review here), you can try to win a copy in this comp.

Acts Of Godfrey (DVD)

April 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Simon Callow, Iain Robertson, Harry Enfield, Celia Imrie, Doon Mackichan
Director: Johnny Daukes
Running Time: 82 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: April 16th, 2012

Not many movies open with a man standing in a hotel car park in the pouring rain, absolutely butt naked. However the opening shots of Acts Of Godfrey are a hint right from the beginning that this isn’t the sort of movie that’s going to do things by the book.

However what really marks it out isn’t its penchant for car park nudity but that the whole thing is written and performed in rhyming couplets. Indeed you get the impression that it was the chance to make a film in modern verse that attracted the likes of Simon Callow, Harry Enfield, Celia Imrie and Doon Mackichan. [Read more…]
