Details

A delightful, highly original, battle-of-the-sexes comedy depicting the story of a couple preparing for a garden party in their Leatherhead home, while their charming but hapless artist ex-son-in-law Robert is holed up in the summer house. Robert is drinking off the divorce and illustrating a new edition of "Beauty and The Beast". When Beauty comes to life, emerging from the fantasy illustration and wreaking havoc with the all too real people around her, it seems like things can t get any worse... Of course, they do, with the appearance of Robert s formidable ex-wife Amanda and... the Beast.
