Not as funny as the TV series, but still has plenty of laughs.
The movie is centred around Rigsby ( Leonard Rossiter ), and it seems to have taken some of the sketches from the original TV series and put them together to make a movie version.
Sadly, for me, it was missing the presence of the brilliant Richard Beckinsale who sadly passed away the year before the movie was made, but it starred the other usual suspects, Leonard Rossiter, Don Warrington, and Frances de la Tour. Replacing Beckinsale was actor Christopher Strauli, who was never going to cut the mustard as a replacement, he was OK though. Then there was Denholm Ellliot as Charles Seymour, who put in another great performance, just as he always does.
The story line is pretty much centred around Rigsby chasing after the woman of his dreams, a con man (Denholm Elliot) and an art student named John (Christopher Strauli) with a complicated love life and a will to wind up Rigsby.
Summing it up, a very watchable Movie, lots of laughs, a cast that seemed to gel together well, but sadly lacked the same punch as the TV series, but that might be down to the fact Richard Beckinsale wasn't there.
