With a single dessert and just two glasses of wine our bill was kept in check - but the effort of doing so was not much fun

This is a film with beautiful performances and a visual style that urges you towards reflection

Although the first half of Kwei-Armah’s production is pacy, funny and intelligent, the energy level then drops off

I loved this film from start to finish. Take the girlfriend, tell your mum - I'd see it again tomorrow and will buy the dvd.
I saw this last night and can't remember the last time I was so moved in the theatre.
I have been to many of London's so-called best Japanese restaurants and none have been as good as the food that I've had at Aqua Kyoto

Dir: Christopher Nielsen.
Cast: Woody Harrelson, Kyle MacLachlan, Jim Broadbent, Simon Pegg, Phil Daniels, Samantha Morton, Emilia Fox
Description: Computer-animated adventure from Norway revolving around a heroin addicted elephant called Jimmy, who is the star attraction at a circus owned by villainous Russian ringmaster Stromowski. Animal activists led by Marius intend to set Jimmy free, so the pachyderm no longer has to suffer the humiliation of performing. Unbeknownst to Marius and his radicals, the elephant is carrying a large shipment of drugs, concealed beneath its hide, and both the Lapp Mafia and American opportunist Roy Arnie plan to kill Jimmy to get their greedy mitts on the illegal wares.
Country: NOR/UK. 2006. 85mins
This peculiar animated Norwegian-British co-production has a heroin-addicted circus elephant on the run from a gang of druggie crooks who know there’s a stash of smack sewn under his hide.
A moose and a group of animal rights loonies are on the elephant’s side. This, you may gather, is a satire. There’s a sex scene early on (not involving the elephant) and lots of bloody deaths.
Writer-director Christopher Neilsen is aided by Simon Pegg — who translated his script into English and voices one of the druggies — and by Phil Daniels, Woody Harrelson and Jim Broadbent. But the characters don’t add to the conception. Nor does the basic animation.
