It IS brilliant. I wasn't expecting it to be funny, but it's real laugh a minute stuff. The cinematography is ace - set on a Greek island, the colours are fantastic, the scenery is exactly as I remember Naxos. Production is slick, and the pace is fast throughout. Good acting from everyone except I thought from Sky (the fiance) - I thought he was a bit wooden. The songs - well, foot tapping happy stuff that you'll find it hard to resist singing along to

I wish I could play the piano better, I'd love to have a go at playing the songs, but they're w-a-a-a-y beyond me. Nicely choreographed, too.
I can't accept a gay Mr D'Arcy!!!! (Colin Firth - he played Mr D'Arcy in Pride and Prejudice). When he makes out with the Greek bloke it is just so funny.
No real action bits as such, just great entertainment.
8/10 I think.
