Love, honor and obey is the type of film that will either make you
scream with laughter or hold your head and groan. To enjoy this movie, you must first plant your tongue firmly-in-cheek, because the whole thing is, the movie does not take itself seriously. It is not meant to be a straight-on gangster film. It is a black-as-midnight comedy, wickedly funny, fast-paced look at the seedy underworld and the faults of the human psyche. Rhys Ifans is brilliant as Matt, a man who lets his temper get the best of him in a battle with Johnny (played by Johnny Lee Miller). Johnny is all about stoking the fire between their two rival gangs. A newcomer, Johnny has no idea about the goings-on of the London underworld, and
uses his idealized version of what a gangster should be rather than going with the everyday flow of thug life. Love, honor and obey is about nothing and everything--- it should be taken at face value for what it is: a lightning-paced black comedy with some truly funny moments. Don't miss it, or the "Little trippy doggy" will be at your door!
