Advantages: I have very beautiful lips

Disadvantages: I wil definetly come and get you if you don't see it, and i mean it this time.

Mike Leigh is a goddess! Abigail is the most likeable yet punchable character i have encountered yet in film (with Jack Nicholsons wife in 'The Shining' following very closely behind, except that she's not even likeable) and i think that that's a pretty good statement of her acting skills.
I first saw the film when there was an 'Abigails Party' night on T.V. It has since become my quest to force everyone i meet to see the it, well, not really.
I really don't stand at parties and talk about films all night long, lolling in the sound of my own voice, which i will assume some of the more 'convention attending' members are liable to do. But what do i know.
Anyway.
If you're looking for a great night in with the girls and a bottle of wine, get this out. You could probably giggle over it without losing the plot and it has the best lipstick application tips ever.

'If you're looking for a great night in with the girls'.........
T his one's not just for the girls. I thought it was a right scream. Definitely one I'd watch again (and I have done).
