A grim parody of Downton Abbey, in which 23-year-old aristocratic Rose Davenport [Thomasin McKenzie] is pressured by her parents [Damian Lewis, Katherine Waterston] to marry the self-absorbed Archibald [Tom Felton] to save Fackham Hall and the family name. But Rose is more interested in Eric Noone [Ben Radcliffe], the newest member of the household. A murder increases the mutual distrust between the Davenports and their staff. The title and the family motto, "Incestus Ad Infinitum," are indicative of the general level of humor. There are a few good jokes, McKenzie holds her own, and Anna Maxwell Martin excels as the rigid Mrs. McAllister.

A painfully unfunny film. There are five writers listed in the credits, and not one of them managed to come up with a good joke. In fact, they were apparently so short on inspiration that they decided to fill about an hour with jokes about confusing the name "Watt" with the word "what."
Instead, re-watch some old Blackadder episodes for a good version of this kind of humour.

Awesome, finally another movie in the style of Airplane, Naked Gun, Hot Shots, a bit of Scary Movie, etc. The Zucker-Abrahams era seems to be over, but this silly movie manages to snatch it back.
Although I have never seen Downton Abbey, this film was entertaining. Occasionally the pace dropped a bit, but mostly the joke density was very high. For example, all sorts of things happen while one of the characters goes for a drive, yet at the same time you hear absurd jokes over the car radio. It is not often that tears stream from laughter, but it certainly succeeded here, even without alcohol. Hopefully, there will be more films like this!
