3. Film Duration :

Genre :
Romantic Comedy
Moral Value :
Sincerity is impossible, unless it pervade the whole being, and the pretence of it saps
the very foundation of character. (James Russell Lowell)
Target Audience :
18+ years old

4. Style :
British comedy has a lovely way of making the most stressful
situation funny. Its build to a hilarious finale is what gives it a
great reputation. From Faulty towers to Mrs Browns Boys, the fast
passed style of cutting allows for a good build up to the finale.
The script combines Cringe comedy with prop comedy allowing
for great shots between actors and the objects they use.

Sometimes it is just right in front of you, so stop searching.
When you think the world is going to end tomorrow will come.
