Reviews (1)
It almost wants to be said much ado about nothing, but when it comes to alcohol, a person simply doesn't have the strength to resist. Or at least a cow, or rather a Brit does not. Thanks to such a proper supply of alcohol, really crazy things are happening here, yet the whole movie is extremely serious at first glance. Just another example of beautiful British humor.
