After Cheri and The Queen now a new Frears film, not as good as Miss Anderson Present nor High Fidelity, who was the one I very much like, I was curious would this one match to his better works?

How do you say? A mixed bag. A bit unusual more of a translation of a comic strip in its tempo and creation of characters.

Weak moments and some fun one. A film you have to say for yourself and very well the price of the admission.

And with English actors as usual over the top.

Follow Ups:

I thought "Dangerous Liasons" and "Dirty Pretty Things" were his two best, with - tinear 15:37:52 04/08/11 (2)
"Hi Fi" a tad disappointing (compared to the first two).
I think he's generally very uneven; when he's good, he's quite good, though.

  The Grifters is a perfect (and perfectly nasty) neo noir. Prick Up Your Ears holds up very strongly.
  
  Also noteworthy:
  
  Sammie and Rosie Get Laid
  The Van
  Dirty Pretty Things
  The Queen
  My Beautiful Laundrette
  
  I think High Fidelity is a lot of fun, quite well crafted, and spot on about a certain type of personality. The Queen has way more going on than at first one might suspect.
  
  All in all, Frears is one of the best directors working today - IMO.

  I LOVED and still do his Hi-Fidelity! And yes very uneven. But lately more UN than even..
  But this last one has something...Schr�g would be the german word.
