"Fackham Hall"

 2025 * R * 1h 37m I wan't sure what to expect from this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. To me it's a combination of Monty Python and Downton Abbey. But it also features a great cast which includes Damian Lewis, Tom Felton, Katherine Waterston, Thomasin McKenzie, and Ben Radcliffe. 

The story is about a family of aristocrats who need to marry off one of their daughters and have a male heir or they lose their beloved Fackham Hall. It's just one funny line after another. There's a good deal of sophomoric humor, but that okay with me. I thought it was an hour and a half of silliness, which in these troubling times, is needed. 

If you're looking for something funny and enjoy British humor (or humour), give this one a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
