As most of you will know already, he plays Rupert, the husband of Ally [played by Tara Summers], who is addicted to her Rampant Rabbit vibrator. This involves them both attending RA [Rabbits Anonymous] meetings where they meet other couples/girls with the same problem. The story of all their problems is swiftly & very humorously told. There are some very good cameo appearances too [lovely Tom Conti amongst them] to look out for.
One of the funniest moments for me was when Julian very first discovers his wife’s [hidden] toy. There were only about 15 people at the viewing, but all of us burst out laughing at the exactly same moment. Julian’s expression of surprise when he picks up the Rabbit was total genius!
Julian gives an extremely skilful performance, as ever. His thoughtful & anguished looks when they are at the RA meetings are very reminiscent of some ‘Mac’ moments….heartrending. He looks delicious throughout - especially in the open white shirt at the end. The fraise blondness is as gorgeous as ever & I think he is even more desirable [if that’s possible?!] because he is not totally naked.
The guys in the audience seemed to enjoy the film enormously, but I think it may be more of a ‘girlie’ movie to watch with one’s female chums really…depends on how much of a ‘new man’ the man in your life is!?
I’d highly recommend going to see it. So get your seats booked now girls, I'm sure there will be a rush to see it!
For those of you that can make it, the Premiere is at Cineworld Haymarket this Wednesday 20th Sept [6 for 6.30pm I was told]. I don’t know if the stars of the film will turn up or not but it may be worth going just in case! I hope to be there somewhere milling about in the crowd!
PS. I nearly forgot…there is also the, by now, almost compulsory for JRT appearances, banana eating sequence ! How does he manage to look so sexy doing things that us lesser mortals would look completely foolish at!
Julian another success!
