Cut for the acting: look how many reaction shots there are of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Emma Hickox (Anne Coates' daughter) cut it, though arguably it's too edited (more likely Curtis's responsibility). Danny Cohen shot it and it didn't make Q feel sea-sick like last time.
Most enjoyable cast also includes the irrepressible Bill Nighy, Tom Sturridge, Nick Frost, Rhys Ifans, Katherine Parkinson, Chris O'Dowd, Tom Brooke ('thick Kevin', another recognisable Curtis 'type'), Gemma Arterton, Felicity Jones, Talulah Riley, January Jones (didn't notice her), Emma Thompson, Nigel Davenport and a simply sensational Kenneth Branagh.
The ending is a bit yucky in the goes-too-far Curtis way. But still, great fun. And where's Rowan Atkinson?
