Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

This event has passed

When Wallace unveils his latest invention — Norbot, a robot who can do almost anything — Gromit can’t help feeling redundant. But when old adversary Feathers McGraw reprogrammes the automaton, causing mayhem across the city and landing Wallace in no end of trouble, of course it’s up to Gromit to save the day…

It’s been 35 years since we first met Nick Park’s beloved comedy odd couple: the ingenious but clueless tinkerer and his mute but eminently empathetic pooch. It’s 16 years since their last outing, A Matter of Loaf and Death. Vengeance Most Fowl marks a joyful return. It’s a gentle, very British mixture of dad jokes, hand crafted slapstick, mock dramatics and understated emotion. A walk on the mild side, but all the better for it. The Aardman team can say more with an arched brow than most blockbusters accomplish in an entire second act, and the world is a better place with these films in it.

Rotten Tomatoes

Vengeance Most Fowl is proof the traditional can still thrive

The Independent

Vengeance Most Fowl is a brisk and well-paced escapade, in which Gromit proves himself to still be one of our best screen actors and Wallace’s absentminded behavior still endears.

The Way, My Way

Dir. Bill Bennett

Dir. Ciarin Cassidy
77 min

This gently mind-blowing doc revisits the glory days of the long-running Irish TV show Housewife of the Year, where women proudly showed off their capacity to keep multiple kiddies fed and clothed, usually with minimal help from their hubbies.
