Fans of British humor have plenty of options.
Only a few British comedy movies manage to make an impact on the international stage, so there are plenty of hidden gems for fans of British humor to uncover. Although some British comedy movies are famous all over the world, like the Monty Python movies, Richard Curtis' romcoms or Edgar Wright's Cornetto trilogy, the vast majority aren't seen by many people in other countries.
Mindhorn mixes in some fun adventure and an interesting conspiracy plot, making it a must-watch for fans of Hot Fuzz. Brian and Charles gradually morphs into an allegory for parenthood, with Brian having to look after his creation, even as it becomes increasingly rebellious and independent. Ultimately, although Charles decides to go out and explore the world on his own, Brian sees the whole experience as worthwhile. The movie's mockumentary style and its dry humor are great to watch, and it's impressive how much chemistry Earl can conjure with a washing machine.
Rye Lane's script is taut and economical, and this means that the movie never loses any of its vitality, even when there are long stretches which rely on the dialogue alone. First-time director Raine Allen-Miller has plenty of visual tricks to keep things interesting, but there is more than enough intrigue and comedic conflict in the repartee between Dom and Yas as they move through the city and get to know one another.
Like any movie from Aardman Animations, Early Man is replete with generous touches, as the animation style brings some lovable characters to life and sets the stage for some brilliant slapstick comedy. Young sports fans will find a lot to love about the ragtag group of misfits who come up against the overwhelming favorites, and Early Man has some fun subplots to keep things lively between games.
See How They Run is a hilarious take on the buddy cop genre, with two mismatched investigators fumbling their way through the mystery. See How They Run's clever script provides the perfect balance of humor and intrigue. In many ways, it parodies the rigid confines of the mystery genre, and the endless imitators of Agatha Christie, but it also has enough love for the genre to provide a satisfying puzzle.
Despite its poor box office performance, Iannucci's Dickensian tale received positive reviews from critics. The director assembles a fantastic cast for The Personal History of David Copperfield, and his script updates the comedy and the drama for a modern audience. Iannucci is clever enough to keep certain quotes untouched, and he also leaves the story in the 19th century, which gives the movie a gorgeous atmosphere.
The Duke isn't a typical heist movie. Rather than having a team of slick professionals, Kempton Bunton simply loosens a screw in a bathroom window and awkwardly heaves himself into the gallery undetected. This comically simple approach typifies the way that The Duke shows the contrast between the vaunted halls of the National Gallery with the reality that working people face in Britain.
