Trivia
The first cut of the film was delivered to investors in 2019. It originally consisted predominantly of scenes set in 1940s London focusing on a young Joan Taylor. The investors were uncomfortable with the film's focus on World War 2, and insisted the flashback sequences be cut back significantly to accommodate much more of the present-day plot with the elderly Joan Taylor, whom fans of The Catherine Tate Show would recognize. New footage, greatly expanding the modern-day road trip sections, was filmed without director Josie Rourke at a low-cost, with animation sequences also used to fill any gaps. As a result of these additions, Rourke had her director's credit removed, and the released cut of the film simply does not have a director credit.

Goofs
At the dance where the girls meet Walter there are numerous US flags displayed. The problem is they are the modern, post 1960, 50 star flag. Not the 1948 star flag seen in WW2.

Low Expectations - Better Outcome

I will start by saying that this movie is, probably, about 10 years too late. Had this been made early '10's, I can imagine a better response. The jokes are outdated and we've heard them all before. The 'present' scenes are predictable though I found the ending to be really good.

The 'past' scenes I thought were amazing, and my four stars are for them. The movie would have been better going down the route of Nan telling Jamie about the past without a road trip, then ending with the meeting. Catherine and Katherine did a good job in those scenes.

The worst part was, by far, the out of place and ridiculous animation that bought nothing to the movie.

So, would I recommend the film?

Sober - No.

After a few drinks - Sure.

Go in with low expectations and I think you'll enjoy the movie due to the flashbacks.
