ILLUSIONS, MICHAEL

Starring the grey fox Hugh Laurie, The Oranges is an above-average comedy about two suburban families who have their lives utterly bamboozled by an ill-advised romance. It may seem like just another quirky Juno clone on paper, but there’s definitely more to The Oranges than meets the eye. A number of gripes aside, this is a warm and decent comedy that you won’t regret watching.

An independent and Award winning film, Amreeka finally hits UK cinemas this week (if you’ve been waiting for it). It might be more for the art-house crowd but its an engaging film from director Cherien Dabis.
