u\ - - begins With 40
‘5‘
With the recently and dearly departed Buried. things began to look up in the Channel 4 UK drama department. But then along came 20 Things to do Before You’re 30 which slowed down progress tenfold and. continuing the numerical theme, 40 has brought the bandwagon to a shuddering halt.
The cast is rammed with hot properties such as a post stand-up Eddie lzzard, the ever smouldering Hugo Speer, the always reliable Kerry Fox and the 805/905 screen goddess Joanne Whalley. Yet. somewhere along the line, 40 has lost its plot. Bryan Elsley made a fine stab of adapting The Crow Road but when he tried his hand at an original script, the pitiful The Young Person’s Guide to Becoming a Rock Star was the result. And here
his script flounders badly.
This tale revolves around a set of old friends gathering for a school reunion (yawn). One is an arrogant ad exec, a second is a frustrated trouble-shooter and another is watching his own company go down the tubes. And all the women are being maltreated in some way. Many people foolisth baited Real Men as exploitative. But 40 makes few attempts at tackling its own horrors, even when lingering over soft-focus shots of
scarred women.
lzzard should return to his comedy career as soon as he can, Whalley would be better leaving us grateful to have memories of happier times and the story should have been left in the hastily arranged ‘ideas‘ meeting it appears to have risen from. Appalling. (Brian Donaldson)
