A little bit of history repeating itself


Faintheart (2009)

Directed by Vito Rocco this British comedy stars Eddie Marsan, Ewen Bremner and Jessica Hynes. A member of a historical reenactment group is kicked out by his wife and must win his family back.

Nearly everything about this film is highly derivative from the plot to the jokes aimed largely aimed at people knowing too much about nerdy hobbies. Despite being able to see where nearly every element of the plot is going this film is not too bad and it does not dip into sentimentality. Jessica Hynes gets the short end of the stick with her role being the “sensible one” with very little material to work with.

2/5
