	Withnail and I Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Though a cult classic in Britain, Bruce Robinson's Withnail and I is one of the funniest films most people have never heard of, and its release on DVD is most welcome indeed.
		Withnail and I is about two unemployed actor friends (Richard E. Grant plays the former, and Paul McGann plays "I") living in Camden Town (a London suburb) in 1969.
		Enter Withnail's Uncle Monty (the priceless Richard Griffiths), a wealthy homosexual who possesses a house in the country.

	DigsMagazine.com \| laze: flick pick: WITHNAIL AND I
		Withnail and the unnamed “I” are two out-of-work, struggling young actors sharing a run-down, rat-infested apartment in London in 1969.
		Between the lack of food, their drug-induced paranoia, and the fact that the two city boys have a genuine and unerring knack for unintentionally pissing off and bewildering the locals, the boys soon find that they’re as miserable out in the middle of nowhere as they were back home.
		Withnail and I is the sort of funny that makes you quietly snort and squeal random delighted “heee!”s, rather than the kind of funny that leaves you rolling on the floor with tears streaming down your face.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Withnail & I"
		Withnail and I (again, it’s another film with a nameless main character; the ‘I’ of the title is the narrator, through who’s eyes we see the events of the film) are a pair of down on their luck actors in 1969 London.
		Heck, Withnail is rarely prepared to eat and breathe, never mind exist on his own wits in a country cottage.
		Throughout all these trials, Withnail’s first and foremost solution to each of them is to get absolutely staggeringly drunk on anything available while generally bemoaning the state of the world and actively trying to get ‘I’ to do everything for him.

	Withnail and I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Withnail and I is a cult British film made in 1987 by Handmade Films.
		The film details the lives of two resting (struggling) actors, who, confined to a Georgian flat in Camden Town through their financial difficulties, decide to take a holiday to the country.
		Marwood is Robinson; Withnail is based on a friend he shared a Camden house with - Vivian MacKerrell - who died young; and Uncle Monty is loosely based on the unwanted attentions he received from an amorous Franco Zeffirelli when he was a young actor [1].

	Encyclopedia: Withnail and I drinking game
		The Withnail and I drinking game is played while watching that film, and involves matching the title character drink for drink.
		All told, Withnail drinks rougly 9 1/2 glasses of red wine, 1 pint of cider, 1 shot of lighter fluid, 2 1/2 shots of gin, 6 glasses of sherry, 13 whiskeys and 1/2 a pint of ale.
		Seeing as the whiskey alone would be more than enough to nessecitate a trip to hospital for most people, it is only the most hardened fans of Withnail and I who can keep pace for the entire film.

	DVD Review: Withnail and I (Criterion) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		"Withnail and I" though, is really a fine show from both leads, who play wasted almost as entertainingly as Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley in "Ab Fab", although "Withnail" is certainly a bit darker than their adventures.
		"Withnail and I", only a couple of years older and, from the looks of it, slightly less in terms of budget, is a mediocre effort from the usually reliable Criterion.
		Final Thoughts: "Withnail and I" is a mostly entertaining and well-performed comedy, but the movie isn't served well by Criterion's DVD, which presents it with audio and video quality that leaves quite a bit to be desired.

	Film Reviews - Withnail And I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Withnail & I is definitely one of the former.
		Withnail (a superbly camp and over-the-top Richard E Grant) and I (an on-the-edge Paul McGann) find themselves so wasted and worn-out by their squallid lives that they decide to take a "holiday" in the country, at Withnail's Uncle Monty's country home.
		Withnail however - mostly due to Grant's superlative performance - elicits sympathy from the viewer, especially in the final scenes of the film where we see this former carefree manipulator showing real fear and regret as he tries to come to terms with I's impending departure.

	BBC - Cumbria - Features - Cumbria on film - Withnail and I
		Withnail demands 'the finest wines available to humanity' at a Penrith café during the film.
		The character traits seen in Withnail and I are taken from his own housemates and acquaintances at the time (roughly seven people rolled into two).
		Richard E. Grant plays 'Withnail' (generally pronounced 'with-null'). The character smokes and drinks heavily and the role is widely regarded as a triumph of acting - Grant himself is teetotal and has never been drunk - he smoked herbal cigarettes during the film.

	Withnail and I review
		"Withnail and I" is a great favourite with those who have seen it and, like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "The Blues Brothers" before it, is a film which enjoys the kind of cult status that sees groups of devotees at parties cackling over lines patched together from their collective memory.
		Withnail is an hysterical, upper-middle-class wastrel ("I'm a trained actor, reduced to the status of a bum"), deliberately drinking and drugging his way to an early grave ("I could take double anything you could") and leading the innocent but usually willing "I" astray as he does so.
		Withnail and I, which enjoys certain parallels with "Midnight Cowboy", is one of a long line of rites-of-passage buddy movies.

	The DVD Journal: Withnail and I: The Criterion Collection
		That Withnail and I is a cult is verified by a half-hour BBC feature on the topic, which appears on Criterion's DVD relase of the film.
		They borrow the rural shack of Withnail's libidinous gay uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths), but find that the cottage is in worse shape than their own home, there is no food, and the rain never ceases.
		Withnail and I is the flagship event in this cultural revolution — the rather theatrical poverty of the characters appeals to youths who are bored with society at large.

	Withnail And I
		This catastrophe causes Withnail to go into one of his many rants, which this time includes pondering the sanity of drug taking athletes, threatening physical violence against one of the flat's many rodents, attempting to tackle a mountain of festering washing up and finally deciding it's time to get some fresh air.
		Withnail attempts to fish for trout with a shotgun, Marwood gets chased by a randy bull and they're both threatened by the local poacher who's brandishing a dead eel.
		For Withnail this is a godsend, as Monty has brought a rather fine collection of wine.

		Destined from the very start to be the student film of choice, Withnail and I spawned a generation who would hold this film as the benchmark for on-screen drinking.

		Withnail is a spoiled, slick-talking and lazy Oxford-educated dandy, who gets through life by drinking and weaseling his way through situations.
		Unlike a contrived buddy movie, the comedy in Withnail and I is based on the realistically witty dialogue and observations of the two main characters.
		The city-boy solutions that Withnail and Marwood use to pull themselves out of their predicaments in the country can get ridiculous, but they are always low-key.

	Withnail and I: 20th Anniversary Edition - DVD review
		Withnail, an alcoholic lovey with delusions of grandeur, shares a flat with I - a flat that is so crappy that it almost begs for a reinterpretation of the concept of squalor.
		Withnail suffers from the same problem as most other cult films, in that if you get it, its most probably going to be the funniest film you ever saw and if not your going to be staring at the screen wondering what all the full was about.
		Richard E. Grant's portrayal of Withnail as a willowy shadow of a man, totally immersed in his own self-importance, drugs and lighter fuel is little short of brilliant especially as Grant is a tea-total.
