This is a post that I almost didn't write. I saw this film in the cinema
today, but I thought it appropriate to ignore it. It would have been the first
film I've watched since September 2010 that I haven't told my readers about.
But I'll own up. Here's the post.
Since December I've been going to the cinema with my grandson Oliver almost
every Sunday. If there's a children's film he hasn't seen yet, I go to watch it with
him. Today the film was "The Amazing Maurice". The problem is that I
didn't sleep well last night. It happens. I was tired when I went to the
cinema, and even more tired when I sat down.
I didn't actually fall asleep, but my eyes kept falling shut and my
concentration wandered. I couldn't follow the film. It seemed like a
complicated plot, and I couldn't keep up. A fat cat, rats in fancy clothing, evil rat
catchers and good rat catchers. It didn't make sense.
When I got home I read a synopsis of the plot. I thought I could cheat by
basing my review on the synopsis. No. The synopsis shocked me. There was so
much in it that I didn't remember. So I'll be honest. I sat in the cinema for
94 minutes, and all I can remember is a few snippets of dialogue and some
slapstick comedy. Laugh at me if you will. I deserve it.
All I can do is promise to watch the film when it's available on a streaming
service. I want to see what I missed.
