While having such an uncynical feature has its benefits, the sheer blissful optimism that emanates does prove detrimental too, for Whisky Galore! is lacking any real conflict, which takes some doing considering the wartime setting.

Eddie Izzard is excellent as the pompous English Home Guard officer, as is Fenella Woolgar as his wife, who clearly sympathises with the locals.

Instead of glorifying the amber liquid, Whisky Galore! is a love letter to an isolated community trapped in amber.

Where the original film was deliciously subversive in that conservative "Keep Calm and Carry On" British manner, this remake feels unnecessarily anesthetized.

There's not much reason to watch this "Whisky Galore!" so long as the 1949 version still exists.

Clunky and affected, with too little drama to carry the narrative.

There's little to dislike about this second shot of "Whisky," with its appealing ensemble and hat-in-hand approach to the Ealing playbook; there's just equally little reason for it to exist.

A fine Scottish cast includes Gregor Fisher, John Sessions and Kevin Guthrie but even their best efforts cannot save this forgettable film.

This creakily old-fashioned remake of the 1949 Ealing comedy never finds its feet.

Too restrained and polite to really grip the attention, this feels more like comfortable Sunday night TV than cinematic fare.

Beyond simple nostalgia ... the appeal of this limp retread is difficult to discern.

[Director Gillies] MacKinnon doesn't update the story; he relishes its solid, old-fashioned quality.
