I have always been a fan of Britcoms and Nick Hurran's 'Plots With A View' is another hilarious addition to that list. It's sort of a funeral comedy that tells an unusual story of love, competition and revenge. The screenplay is wonderful and the film provides dozens of laugh out loud moments. The locations are refreshing and breathtaking. The cast is exceptional. Robert Pugh, Alfred Molina, Brenda Blethyn, Naomi Watts and Christopher Walken are like never seen before. Pugh is superb as the jerk of a cheating husband. Alfred Molina is the perfect gentleman/mortician. Blethyn beautifully downplays the part of the simple, slightly naive and lovable Betty. Naomi Watts plays the sluttish bimbette secretary and is overdone with makeup and props which makes her stupendously suitable for the part. Both she and Walkens prove their flair for comedy. Walken, well, I do not want to give away much. One just has to watch and see. 'Plots With A View', while being an immensely amusing comedy, pays tribute to ballroom dancing. The dance numbers are well executed. There's one with Walken and Evans and two or three with Molina and Blethyn. All of them performed fantastically. Molina and Blethyn actually prove to be quite good dancers. If one is looking for something to laugh then 'Plots With A View' is definitely the movie to recommend.
