I belong to a dvd rental place, whereon I have a wish list of movies to watch. This sometimes means that when they arrive, I have completely forgotten what it was that made me order them, or piqued my interest. This is the case with Funny bones (I suspect Richard Griffiths had something to do with it) and it arrived and I spent a good part of the film feeling as though I'd been hit on the head with a newspaper with a metal rod rolled inside it. By the time it ended, I was enjoying it and starting to understand it, so I watched it again the next evening and whaddya know, comprehension! It's a lot of fun, it's very clever and it's great to see some wonderful actors performing. Leslie Caron is NOT faded (as I think one reviewer intimated) but as stunning as ever and like a fine wine. There is a mixture of fine performers, and the story is quirky and fascinating. I loved it, and I couldn't promise I wont try to buy a copy.
