Gromit rules! Great romp and loved watching out for all the great visual jokes and puns. I think their full length features need to be 70 rather than 90 minutes as they get a little stretched in places. So glad … Continue reading →

Enjoyable. A fun family movie with my favourite Mr Darcy! You know it’s all going to come right in the end but it’s great to go along for the ride to see how it all works out. I feel rather … Continue reading →
