Cracking film Grommit (waggles fingers)

Just got back from viewing Wallace And Grommit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The best praise I can think for it is that it's everything a Wallace and Grommit film should be: groanworthy puns, knowing humour, hilarious set pieces, meticulous attention to detail that shines through in every scene and the most believable chemistry you'll ever witness between two lumps of plasticine. And fortunately, despite having an extended running time to play with, the film never outstays it's welcome. Upon viewing it's easy to understand just why the film took so long to complete - it practically demands a second viewing in order to catch all the visual gags flying around in the background that you missed first time around. It's very obviously put together with exactly the sort of loving touches we've come to expect from Nick Park over the years.

If such ratings mean anything, I'd place it only very slightly behind The Wrong Trousers (which I believe to be perhaps the finest thirty minutes of television ever conceived). It's pretty much a joy from beginning to end, and it's been quite some time since I've laughed out loud so many times during a single film. It's worth your time and money - go see it!
