Rickman's Comic Genius

I paid an arm and a leg to get this movie to add to my Rickman collection before it was widely available, and it was worth it. Alan Rickman has described himself an instrument. He is most known for "playing that instrument" as a heavy, and even as a romatic lead. He does each brilliantly. But in Gissing, he proves that he also has perfect comic timing. The movie is a little choppy in its transition editing, perhaps because someone thought this was creative. It is not. However Alan Rickman's performance is incredible. If you are a Rickman fan, you absolutely must own this. If your don't know much about him (where HAVE you been?), you will be a fan when you see this.

I Love this movie!!!

This is a wonderful movie for any Alan Rickman fan. This is an extremely funny movie. I laughed so hard at the intelligent wit and complete humor of the movie.

Funny film

It's a very funny movie. Alan Rickman is really the better and shows all his talent in this film. Happyness!

Searching for laughs

I got my copy when it was first available thru the film maker. It's funny -- often hysterically so. That said, I could have lived without the massive amounts of profanity. My favourite scene is when Gissing (Rickman's character) is minus his glasses and trying to make a big presentation. He is sandbagged in spades by the man he sandbagged earlier. When they finally join forces, stand by for more laughs at the expense of the stuff-shirted "boss," come to town to take over.

As other reviews have indicated, it's Rickman who steals the show (as usual in his films). In comedy, it's all about timing; and Rickman is as good as George Burns!
