Apparently, I am one of the few to really enjoy this film. I thought it was well paced and funny, Minnie Driver and Mary McCormack are great. The score is good, the story is entertaining. It had enough twists to hold my interest. It?s not a great film, but I enjoyed it.
Critic Reviews
There are, however, no highs in High Heels and Low Lifes. Just lows. Full Review
A mostly smart attempt to resurrect Ealing Studios-style hijinks. Full Review
A refreshingly engaging British movie that isn't afraid to go all out for laughs and thrills, leaving its social conscience behind.
You can't help feel that the director settled for smirks when he could've had bellylaughs. Full Review
Won't leave audiences with too many bad memories--mostly because it evaporates from memory as soon as the closing crawl begins. Full Review
It's the charming wit and screen presence of McCormack that saves this picture from being a total mess. Full Review
With the tiny I.Q.s of the characters in this film, it wouldn't have been much harder for the likes of Laverne and Shirley to pull off the same joyless stunt. Full Review
Driver and McCormack make appealing heroines, and Kevin McNally and Michael Gambon are gratifyingly menacing villains. Full Review
Distinctly low on laughs and, despite a running time of only 86 minutes, far outstays its welcome. Full Review
