Hi, some info about the ratings system. We monitor this website and upload new content, but we have no way of altering the ratings. The stars shown for each film show the average score given by all users who have rated it!

I quite liked the lighting and film style in this, but the gun was shot pointing the wrong way. I can't remember if this happens the original?

I do like PJ's humour and comedy and the humour in this was ok. But, sorry Phil, where this falls down is to even pretend it is a take on The 39 Steps. Mr Memory - in the film - is but a top and tail: the vast majority of the film having nothing directly to do with him. So my expectations were raised and dashed. This should have been marketed as a take on Mr Memory in the 39 Steps because it hardly relates at all to the whole film. A humorous effort but disappointingly mis-sold.

Yeah, great laugh!! And soooo just like the original film. But why did he not ask the obvious question "Just what is the mystery of the 39 steps?"?

Sorry phil, leave the comedy to the comedians. The only time I have ever found you even mildly amusing, is when you used to laugh so enthusiastically at Mark lemar's jokes on Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Jokes that even Mark didn't even find that funny. Come on, don't insult us with such gang show standard rubbish.
