Very Annie Mary

As a whole it's vibrant, witty and richly detailed.

A half-klutzy, half-engaging eccentric comedy.

The cast is uniformly excellent -- Pryce in simultaneously utterly horrible and a real hoot as the wildly egomaniacal paterfamilias -- but the film itself is merely mildly charming.

As it lurches between mush and farce, Very Annie Mary churns up a few genuinely funny bits.

Strong contender for the weirdest movie released this year.

Leaks treacle from every pore.

Annoyingly fourth-hand -- scraped from the shoes of "The Full Monty," mixed with Michael Caine's "Little Voice" hair-smarm and salted with "Billy Elliot's" dandruff.
