TRAILER, CLIPS & THE SPIN-OFF PODCAST SHOW

THE OFFICIAL UK THEATRICAL TRAILER

Was it Howard Webster who was responsible for this movie, or were Monty Python, John Waters and Christopher Guest all stuck in an elevator and decided to make Great In Britain? -  Review

THE 'STAR INSIDE' SONG & DANCE SCENE

...the story-telling style interwoven with gorgeously costumed dancers which pays homage to old Hollywood musicals. What's there not to like? At the end of the day, three old school friends struggling through life tackling 'what' you do with your life doesn't quite matter as much as 'why' you are doing it.' A feel-good movie with a lot of heart after all. -  Review

THE 'WHY YOU DO IT' SONG & DANCE SCENE

The antics of three hapless friends, down on their luck, provides the framework for a riot of comedy, with moments of pure farce, interspersed with toe-tapping, old-school musical numbers. Guaranteed to entertain and amuse. -  Review

THE WORLD'S WORST DOG WALKING CLASS SCENE

A comedy with out boundaries that will be sure to make you laugh. - Review

UK THEATRICAL RELEASE CONTROVERSY - MOVIE STARRING GOD BANNED BY CHURCH GROUP

The movie's theatrical release in the UK has caused some controversy. One church group refused to allow the film to be screened at a venue two days before the advertised screening was set to go ahead.  'We decided not to make a big deal of it,' says the movie's director, Howard Webster, 'the potential tabloid newspaper headline MOVIE STARRING GOD BANNED BY CHURCH does rather write itself and we weren't sure it was the kind of attention we wanted to encourage and decided to take the high-ground.'
