Movie Info

A group of spiteful former schoolmates attempt to spend 96 hours in the same sprawling country mansion in order to collection one million pounds each in Vol-Au-Vent director John McKenzie's dark Ealing-inspired farce. The rules are simple: remain cut off from the world in their benefactor's lavish country estate for four straight days, and collect on the fortune of a lifetime. But when a member of the group drops dead under mysterious circumstances, things get unexpectedly complicated. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews for 12 in a Box

All Critics (6) | Fresh (0) | Rotten (6)

The farce is forced, the gags grate and the standard of playing varies wildly.

David Parkinson

Radio Times

An amateurish, painfully unfunny misfire.

Allan Hunter

Daily Express (UK)

A poorly made, badly acted, lazily written and painfully laugh-free attempt at a farce that's only getting a release to cash in on the presence of TV star Miranda Hart.
