Simon T Time has not been kind to Bad Behaviour, an aimless and almost plotless comedy devised by its director Les Blair. In Camden an Irish yuppie couple (Stephen Rea and Sinead Cusack) are drifting apart and contemplating a return to Dublin. Into their orbit comes the oleaginous Howard Spink (Philip Jackson), who convinces them that their house needs renovating, and introduces them to twin labourers Roy and Ray Nunn (Phil Daniels). There are individually hilarious scenes, mostly involving Spink and the Nunns, but the Rea/Cusack sequences are very listless and exasperating, and Blair has indulged both them and John Altman, whose jazz score spreads like measles through far too many scenes. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Frances H This film really does not have any plot and is simply a rather dull series of scenes from a couple's everyday life and they are not even a particularly interesting couple.I usually like British comedies and the cast in this one are very good actors with whom I'm familiar, but this film was simply not very entertaining or insightful.

Witty and well written, funny and touching. One of those films that work on all levels. It does drag a bit in parts, but overall it flows well.
