Kelsey grammer is charles bunbury, the incompetent president of a very old but broke bank. Grinding (john higgins... better known for best in show!) wants to buy it. As do others. Can he sell it before the truth comes out about its poor financial condition? Or before his wife finds out how bad things are? In the meantime, charles is out on the street, and must learn how to survive. Some funny bits, where a bank exec not only brings his lunch in a lunchbox, but even has a note from mom with his lunch. Can his daughter, or maybe his homeless friend help him get his wife back? It's a bankroom farce! It's mostly fun.... moves a little slow. Many similarities to trading places, from 1983. Film directed by vadim jean. Story by roger devlin. Kind of.

Similar genre to his up periscope movie which was also panned by critics but was very good and enjoyable to watch.

Nothing profound, not deep, just fun to watch, and had the Director mixed the sound better, would have been more fun. But they allow the music to play so loudly over the voices in too many people, that you miss what was said and it is more than annoying! Dialog should not be competing with music people! Please stop it. We should not have to struggle to understand what has been said. What is the point? It is fun, that's all. If you really try to critique it, it becomes more work than watching it. It's primary value is to counter the dread of the daily news, and it does that well.

Fun mix of sentiment, comedy, and social commentary. Very fun actors. Sadly went with trendy overly-obvious innuendo rather than being classy. Definitely not PG. Beautiful views of London. Great one-liners.

I guess you're the 24/7-type? Yes, 24 hours a week, 7 months a year. You're not the biggest idiot in the world, but when he dies...

What was Kelsey Grammar thinking when he signed up to be in this turkey? How the mighty have fallen. From Cheers and Frasier to this tenth rate Trading Places tribute act. There's no doubting the stellar nature of the cast but considering the awful script (and Kelsey's strangled British accent), they must be seriously considering getting new agents. Honestly, this horror show has almost nothing going for it, the single saving grace being Pearse Quigley as the eccentric tramp Oscar. Even the music and the end credit slide show lack charm. Avoid this train wreck even out of curiosity.

This is a funny send-up of British banking and capitalism in general. There were many laugh-out-loud moments. I recognised many of the prime banking locations in London. This film is much better than the 1 out of 10 crowd say. Just relax, watch it, and enjoy yourself.

OMG What happened? Did you owe someone in Hollywood a film no matter how bad the script was? Curse those multi-film contracts! Couldn't even finish the film, had to put Frazier reruns on to remind me of Mr. Grammars greatness.

This film is not one of those you can stick on after dinner and enjoy, it's so terrible you can't even sleep to it. I have to say it's probably one of the worst films I have ever seen. It's a wonder how they got the cast to do it
