We finally watched this the other night and it was so good. It was one of those movies that wasn't overly "deep." You didn't have to think a lot, it wasn't scary and all the actors were familiar faces.
If I had to say something negative it would be Pierce Brosnan's accent in the movie was horrible....LOL
I didn't realize it was the first book in a series of books written by Richard Osman I hope they make movies of the other books in the series.
If you haven't seen the movie, I would say see it. We both thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is on my list to watch.
Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll be sure to add this to my watch list.
The cast have said they hope there will be another one (well they would, wouldn't they?!). Agree about PBs accent
I read The first book and didn't really like it but always thought it would make a better film. I'll have to watch it next week when we're back home
I loved this movie too - so nicely cast and delightful. They held closely to the book, even though they had to cut a bit for time, I didn't really miss it. All the books have been optioned by netflix. I suspect whether or not they go into production will depend on reception, reviews (so far, most all are good) and availability of the main cast members.
I watched an interview recently, whereby actor Domhnall Gleeson (currently playing an American in a new series) described his struggle with certain accents, especially Australian. It's definitely a skill, isn't it? I can do a Scottish accent, thanks to my great-grandparents, or southern US (thanks to TV), but others not so much.
I felt the exact way after watching it. It was a plesant movie. But I did not notice Pearce's accent. Maybe because I can't always tell the difference between his Irish accent and a British accent. Damn Yanks. :-)
I don't know if we can get it with our current service so will have to look and see. Thanks for the review!
I've read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it
Thanks for pointing it out.
