A Chorus Of Disapproval: Review

starstarstarstar
This screen adaptation of British playwright Alan Ayckbourn's comedy uses onstage-offstage structure to take a humorous, offbeat look at an English theater company. Guy Jones (Jeremy Irons) is a shy, recent widower whose company transfers him to the seaside town of Scarborough. There he joins the Pendon Amateur Light Operatic Society (PALOS) in hopes of making some friends. Instead he ends up as the local lothario after impressing Dafydd Ap Llewellyn (Anthony Hopkins), the eccentric Welsh solicitor who directs PALOS' productions, and Dafydd's wife (Prunella Scales). In no time, the onstage goings-on begin to parallel the real-life experiences of the actors. The film drags in spots and certain plot elements never become entirely clear. Moreover, director Michael Winner doesn't quite create the atmosphere of total lunacy for which he seems to be striving. However, the talented and likable cast does contribute some very funny moments. leave a comment
