Fell asleep test = 0 (somehow)

Dull. Michael Caine (Clarence) and Bill Milner (Edward) have good performances but the story is just plain dull. It's mildly interesting that Edward is living in an old persons home with his parents and is infatuated with death and ghosts. There are some funny bits given it's predominately centred around old people who've lost their marbles and when Clarence makes his comeback as a magician it's hilarious - not enough to ever consider watching again or recommending though!

The cinema was full of old people who seemed to enjoy it more so my opinion may be more aligned to the younger - mid generations. Seats in the Dendy cinema at Circular Quay, Sydney we're not too shabby though.


Cheers
