Lacking the zeal and comic energy that the material requires, The Hippopotamus feels like a soufflé that has failed to rise, leaving a film that can only be recommended to diehard Allam devotees.
May 30, 2017
An old-fashioned romp through the eccentricities of the upper classes, it's a fun mystery with a nicely filthy mind.
June 02, 2017
A towering, at times monumentally good central performance from the character actor Roger Allam stands at the heart of The Hippopotamus, but it is entirely alone.
May 31, 2017
The writing here is sometimes arch and laboured but Allam puts across even the most stilted lines with enormous brio.
June 01, 2017
Despite a wonderfully witty voiceover and the bullish playing of a willing ensemble, this bawdy romp consistently stumbles over its more contrived excesses.
June 09, 2017
This British satirical comedy may be a bit of a mess, but since it's based on a Stephen Fry novel, the snappy wit in the dialogue zings with his specific brand of intelligent humour.
May 26, 2017
Brought to the silver screen by director John Jencks, the flavour and indelible, idiosyncratic tone of the author is imbued in this faithful adaptation.
June 04, 2017
This adaptation of Stephen Fry's novel leans heavily on the elegant profanity of the source material.
June 01, 2017
It's still a pleasure, and often a joy, to watch the star measuring out and savouring Fry's rich wordplay like fingers of scotch.
May 22, 2017
This adaptation of Stephen Fry's comic novel relies so heavily on voiceover that it's practically an audiobook.
