GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
robidon2000 i liked this movie, for costumes, make-up, and all typical swinging London details. Houses and streets and shops of late 60's London, are very colored and similar to reality. I think that the script is original, unconventional, and three girls thieves who disguise themselves to rob in various places are fantastic. Three girls are not professional actresses but are so pretty and i adored all their disguises. There are some other interesting characters as the bad boss and the photographer. They (girls) are not saints, but their actions are not only simply robberies, are a protest, too, against a society in which not all has same rights. Very nice the character of jerry's friend, who might choice between easy life in U.S.A. or a love story with that strange but so cute girl.
TANESY I would rather rip my own guts out with blunt knife than buy any All Saints album. So it's quite clear I didn't watch this movie because I'm an All Saints fan. Nor do I find any of them particularly attractive, so that's no selling point there either - mind you the two Appleton sisters do both get their top off if that's why you're interested in this movie. I wasn't expecting much from this film, but I must admit I was happily surprised. This is a rather good movie. No it's no masterpiece, but it has an entertaining story, is well paced and even laced with some really good acting performances. Definitely worth watching.
dagmar2die4 The movie sucks but I'm a loyal fan so I give them a 10 = the one line summary tells it all. Well at least it didn't hit the big screen cause than this movie would really have a 2 or something so I'm happy with the 74 users that only voted for this movie.
Ian Mc This must have looked great on paper... Imagine three beautiful sisters, in swinging-sixties London, who steal for a living. Get three pop stars (Nicole and Natalie Appleton, Melanie Blatt of the 'All Saints) as the cast and package with pop star turned director, Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics fame).It's the perfect pitch. OK - maybe not, but there will be a buzz and people will want to see it. But should they? In my opinion, probably not.From the outset, the film couldn't decide whether it wanted to be sixties a pastiche comedy, or a thriller edged movie.The plot was pedestrian and you were never really drawn to care about the characters. The script was peppered with sixties stereotypes, posh kids, tripping hippies and some decidedly one-dimensional mobsters. The cast seemed to struggle under the weight of the plot, some of the scenes were truly painful to watch - especially the comedy drug-dealer villain and the extended 'trip' sequence. Some of the emotional pay-offs were lame to say the least. Co-writers Clement and La Frenais (with Stewart) are capable of much, much more than this.All that said, there are a couple of good comedy moments, including a chase into Mornington Crescent Tube Station in a camper van. Sadly, these moments are few and far between.Nicole Appleton, as the oldest sister Gerry, seemed reasonably at home in her role. Sadly though, she was let down by a mock-cockney accent which seemed to have escaped from the Dick Van Dyke school of dialect coaching. Others were guilty of this too. Peter Facinelli, the American love interest was missable. Corin Redgrave brought a little dignity to the proceedings with his mob boss.Points must also go to one of the most obvious continuity errors I have ever seen... a full back tattoo that goes missing!With an 18 Certificate in the UK for the drug-taking, language and nudity the film was doubtless pitched at an adult audience. I feel that, unless all want to see is some pop star nudity, you will walk away disappointed. "Honest" is destined for the same bargain bin that you may pick 1997's 'Spiceworld' out of, and that's a shame as this had the potential to be far, far better. One to miss.
