Would have been better as a short film
11 February 2014
The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain is a decent film. It is charming and features a wonderful cast. The story is interesting and quite entertaining. However, the premise would have served better for a short film rather than a feature film. Like many of Woody Allen's movies, the small plot is stretched to suit a film far too long for the idea. This film should have been 40 or so minutes long. Even 70 minutes would have been too long for this type of story. Even though it's a pretty short film in its own right, it was still too long for its story. Aside from that one flaw though, it was a quaint and enjoyable film with a heart and hilarious characters.
