Anecdotes
In a radio interview broadcast May 20, 2013 on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdon, Samantha Bond described some of the behind-the-scenes tensions during the making of this movie. She stated that Burt Reynolds' "high maintenance" behavior on-set bore some resemblance to the actions of his character. This behavior, Bond stated, included locking himself in his trailer and having to be coaxed out by the director or producer, not making much of an effort to mix with or get to know many of the rest of the cast (Samantha Bond excepted), and not learning his lines.

Charming British film - well worth seeing

After reading some of the other reviews I wonder what you expect from a nice little English movie. Burt Reynolds was great, but Imelda Staunton was exceptional. She was hilarious in all her scenes and we laughed out loud. It's very British set in a very British setting.

If you liked Calendar Girls you'll like this. It's not great art, just great entertainment with a really good British cast, and an ageing but nevertheless very entertaining Burt Reynolds. Burt Reynolds who I must admit I did not think could act was quite good throughout and delivered his Shakespeare well. If there was one criticism it would be the scenes in the US were not brilliantly shot
