I wasn't really expecting much from this movie partly because it only got 2.5 stars from Leonard Maltin and also because it is a cult film and that usually turns me off. However, I was pleasantly surpised with Withnail & I. I actually liked it a lot and thought it was really funny. Set in the late sixties, it is also a movie about freedom and friendship. I highly recommend drinking at least a half bottle of wine while watching this movie. A half bottle of wine makes many things more enjoyable, but it especially makes this movie more fun.
