It's much funnier, and sadder, watched stone-cold sober.

Set in 1969 England, it portrays the last throes of a friendship mirroring the seedy demise of the hippie period, delivering some comic gems along the way.

It is at once a coming-of-age comedy and a fond farewell to an era.

A modern classic? A brilliant vignette of a certain time and attitudes? A self-indulgent jeu d'esprit? One thing is certain: Richard E. Grant touched greatness.

A biting script from writer-director Bruce Robinson and performances from Richard E Grant and Paul McGann as two 'resting' actors, Withnail and 'I', that neither has surpassed.

Oct 27, 2018What elevates this British comedy above being a mere series of funny situations is Richard E. Grant, who embraces his role with a hilarious performance and makes this a hysterical film full of memorable lines and moments, even if some of the gags lack a proper punch line.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jan 15, 2013An almost surreal British comedy taking place in the '60s, Withnail and I is hilarious and strange, driven by great performances from the entire cast, especially Richard E. Grant as Withnail and Richard Griffiths as Monty. Very funny in an odd sort of way.Joey S Super Reviewer
