I would recommend the ladykillers five out of five because it's amazing. It's about a bunch of robbers who pretend they violin quintet to Mrs.Wilberforce,the film is really funny and I think it is a good film .
I think it works fantastic as a black comedy.
Alec Guinness,who played the goofy professor was in the original Star Wars movie ,he played Obi Wan Kenobi. The professor has goofy teeth like a bunny rabbit . Professor and the rest of the group of robbers are disrespectful to poor Mrs.Wilberforce . Mrs.Wilberforce is a lovely,kind and old lady who is played by Katie Johnson also she has a whiny voice which is quit annoying.
The soundtrack was quite good because I think they had the right music at the right time.
My favourite character is Mrs. Wilberforce because she has such a creative mind and is a funny old lady who's caring. She is a landlady as well. I think she has a heart . My favourite scene is when most of the robbers try to give the parrot his medicine . He DOSEN’T like it !
I would recommend this for Seven and over even though it's sixty years old it doesn't make a difference,also it works fab as a black comedy .
