Sail away to follow your dreams
Farce and fiasco in this screwball comedy set
in the corporate world
Mike Binder wrote, directed, and stars
alongside Alan Rickman in this award-winning comedy set in corporate London
An American businessman and his wife are
summoned to London oversee an impending business merger.
Unknown to him, Matthew Barnes is being groomed
to replace John Gissing , his British counterpart. Gissing, in the meantime,
has seen the storm brewing for some time and has no intention of giving up his
position without a fight.
Instead Gissing cunningly unleashes his inner
Machiavelli and sends the American couple on a comical series of disastrous
misadventures, in an attempt to turn their lives upside down and undermine his
rival.
From arriving late to key meetings, to a
humiliating encounter with a French colleague, to finding himself in a
compromising position with a lusty nun, life for Barnes becomes a living hell.
Alan Rickman steals the show as the scheming
Brit, and lookout for Juliet Stevenson, who also co-starred with Rickman in
Truly, Madly, Deeply, as his hilariously exasperated colleague.
Total Running Time 88 Minutes
