Comedy (Ali Berg)

Starring Oscar nominee Julie Walters, Denholm Elliott and Richard E. Grant, Killing Dad is an hysterical comedy about happy families, hair tonic, hammer and homicide.

Alistair, a neurotic door-to-door hair tonic salesman (Richard E. Grant), is less than anxious to welcome back his long lost father Nathy (Denholm Elliott), who 23 years previous had nonchalantly “slipped out for a packet of cigarettes” never to return.

When Alistair travels incognito to Southend to find Nathy, he discovers his notorious father is still every inch the disgraceful rogue, moving from hotel to hotel, drinking, lying, borrowing money and living with his girlfriend (Julie Walters) a bleached blonde beauty several decades younger than himself.

Alistair finally decides that drastic measures must be taken if this awful man is to be stopped.
The results are hilarious!

NOTE: REG describes this film as a flick that played one week in the West End and then went straight to video.

Best REG line: “I fought to have this hairstyle, It’s the best thing about the film.” (It needs to be seen to be believed!)
