Funny Bones

During the final scene, while the camera is showing the police at the base of the pole, a spotlight is throwing a very clear shadow of the camera, complete with 'rubber ducky' antenna on the actors.

In the scene where Tommy Fawkes gets the Parker brothers to sign the contract for their act, there is continuity with the chair.

The Parker's stand up and go to set up the scene to show Tommy Fawkes.

From a high shot you see Tommy Fawkes stand up and turn his chair around, it then cuts to the front of Tommy, his chair is in its original position and he turns it around again to the position he did in the first high shot.

I belong to a dvd rental place, whereon I have a wish list of movies to watch. This sometimes means that when they arrive, I have completely forgotten what it was that made me order them, or piqued my interest.

I actually didn't think Lee Evans would even act in a movie like this before since he always does stand-up a lot! He's actually not bad of an actor, he does make the effort of being a crazy young man who witnessed a murder scene!

I absolutely adore this film and it is in my top 5 favourites. I highly recommend everyone to see it.

This is a very strange, frustrating movie that is too long, too diffuse, and at least for me, was difficult to sit through. No wonder audiences were baffled.

How did I never hear of Lee Evans before I saw this movie? He is my new idol.

Not having seen this film, or even remembering if it ever played locally, it was with amazement we stumbled into this brilliant comedy directed by Peter Chelsom. The screen play is by Mr.

Funny Bones is a quite remarkable film, it manages to blend the unlikely pairing of slap-stick comedy and beautiful cinematography. Everyday Blackpool locations are tranformed by art like filming to leave the viewer thinking he has witnessed some kind of miracle.

The first viewing of this film gave me a great sense of 'oh, right..' at the end, but after watching it again I can say it is one of the best films I have ever seen.

Peter Chelsom's film is not everyone's cup of English tea. Those expecting your standard comedic romp should avoid it.
