The Supergrass (1985)
Where were the laughs?

The Comic Strip turned out a fair few turkeys amidst the gems and why they chose this slim story for the big-screen treatment is baffling. Edmondson as lead fails to tickle the funny bone as he did in say 'A Fistful of Travellers Cheques' or 'Strike!'. The sub-plot of Richardson as thwarted lover seems underwritten and overall the film dodges the anarchy of the series in favour of stodgy plotting. Nobody shines besides Sayle's traffic cop and even he seems somewhat muted in his performance.
