Watch Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There are only two ways you will react to this movie: You will either love it or you'll hate it. There is absolutely no in-between. The opening scenes set the character of the whole film which, admittedly, is written, directed and played in a most unusual style. Needless to say, I loved it. My only quandary is deciding who gave the best performance. Most people pick Rik Mayall and he is most certainly the best of a whole screen-full of absolutely unique, way- out male characters. Admittedly, he and everyone else were given a great script to work on. But my favorite of favorites is undoubtedly Jane Horrocks. The scene in which she strips down to black briefs and bra and vigorously ignites her song is a classic interlude that deserves listing as one of the Best Twenty Movie Scenes ever made. All the acting is absolutely first class. The only point I'd like to raise is who is this Mavis Davis? There is no Mavis Davis character in the cast at all. Is this an intentional inside "joke", or am I really missing something? This movie is available on a superb – and I really mean "superb" – Trinity DVD.

Pop Svengali Marty Starr is in a little bit of trouble with shady American Bruce whose son has ambitions to be a pop star so Marty decides the best way to keep his kneecaps is to come up with a get rich quick scheme BRING ME THE HEAD OF MAVIS DAVIS has few fans and while it's not exactly consistently laugh out loud it's by the same token not a truly terrible British comedy , I did see THE WEDDING TACKLE the previous night so I know what an abysmal comedy from this small island looks like believe me Much of criticism may have to do with the casting of Rik Mayall as Marty , as everyone is keen to point out his character is very similar to Alan B'stard from THE NEW STATEMAN but dissimilar enough to make you notice that Marty is very much an inferior comic character to that of the Tory MP but any deficiencies are made up by the supporting cast especially Jane Horrocks and Marc Warren The script by Craig Strachen is slightly uneven containing mainly moments that are fairly predictable but one or two bits are very funny . Perhaps the script can be summed up where Marty goes to buy some drugs from a rent boy where the audience are one step ahead of the script ( You can guess what's gonna happen next ) but contains a misunderstanding at the police station where Marty's cell mate starts to pull his trousers downOften predictable , sometimes amusing and there's worst movies I've seen this week that were made in Britain

i really like rick mayall, drop dead Fred was great and when he's not doing his bottom and young ones style he can be charming/sly and a surprisingly good straight actor.....so all this is just me setting up an apology to him.rick 'im sorry'... this film suffers from the worst failing a film can have. it is so crushingly slow moving....no, sorry. its just plain boring. funny moments are negated by the whole thing being so drawn out. it has appalling pacing.There is also a weirdly misplaced 'accidental' outing that is just plain not funny, succeeds in just padding the film out. padding it really doesn't need. its fitting that in a film that deals with murder, the viewer is constantly losing the will to live.

I do not understand why this move was slammed critically. Great premise and great cast. Very funny movie. A must for all anglophiles. Highly recommended.
