Wonderful cast of the four friends in Dame Hellen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie and Pierce Brosnan. Add Jonathan Pryce as Elizabeth's husband, David Tennant as tenant-evicting bad guy (see what they did there), Tom Ellis as hunky son ... The list could go on. People who found this "too light" clearly don't share my sense of humour. In my view, it's the lightness and quirky characters' playful approach to a rather dark theme that makes the Thursday Murder Club so brilliant. They capture the spirit of the book quite nicely for a movie adaptation! Having read all books so far, I know I will watch this movie again - and look forwards for more to come!
