Amazon.co.uk Review
It must have seemed like fun at the time: a group of mates got together to play gangsters, ran around London's streets waving guns, dishing out beatings and shouting profanities at the top of their mockney lungs. It's the kind of game that any group of lads with a camcorder and a six-pack might indulge in on a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, these particular mates happen to be famous, so the result--Love, Honour and Obey--actually saw the dark of cinemas.Ray Winstone is Ray, head honcho of a North London crime outfit; Sean Pertwee is Sean, leader of the South London pack. Their organisations co-exist with a minimum of fuss, based on respect for each other's turf. Then Ray's nephew, Jude (Jude Law), introduces his mate, Jonny (Jonny Lee Miller), into the firm and the equilibrium goes up in gun smoke. Jonny's a hothead who disrespects Ray's rules and instigates a private feud with Matthew (Rhys Ifans), his opposite number in Sean's gang, and soon there are gun battles raging through the capital. Perhaps directors Dominic Anciano and Ray Burdis regard their work as avant-garde, a deconstruction of the movie-making myth or a dissection of genre--or maybe they are just having a laugh at our expense. Either way the result is tortuous, egotistical film making. To be fair, Love, Honour and Obey is at least a step up from their last effort, Final Cut, in which much the same cast again paraded under their own names and made utter fools of themselves, but that's like saying the Zeebrugge ferry disaster wasn't as bad as the Titanic. Still, at least it's not all boys playing with their penis extensions: there's also Sadie Frost and Denise Van Outen. --Jamie Graham

 Don't Mack me off like a two bob! July 19, 2006

No I don't know what that means, and neither does Ray Kreed, Daddy of the North London boys. Facing Ray across the river is Sean and the South London boys, a man of taste with his decent champagne, his classy bars, and his tendency to make up words as he goes along.
Love, Honour & Obey is a gangster movie following the progress of Johnny (Johnny Lee Miller) in joining his mate Jude's gang (Jude Law) headed up by Ray Kreed (Ray Winstone - who else). They run scams, they fight with South London and throughout it all Fat Alan gets stabbed, beaten up, drugged, forced to eat dog food, and blown up until he thinks it's about time he gets another line of work.
A London Gangster movie with an edge overlaid with some highly funny moments, particularly the boys disguised as arabs trying to knick a load of diamonds after taking some viagra. Clearly made on the cheap - why spend the wedge when you don't need to - and stuffed with cracking one liners and some karaoke performances that stun - Sean and Trevors "Fireball XL5" duet and the opening "Avenues and Alleyways" by the North London Mob musically punctuate a great movie.
Special moments include Kath & Ray (the other Ray) solving his erectile dysfunction and Fat Alan demonstrating his hand to hand combat skills and ending up in hospital. A raft of great performances in a film appeared in, written and directed by Dominic Anciano and Ray Burdis, writers of "Operation Good Guys" and "Final Cut".
I loved this film, I've watched it many times and the one liners never fail to make me laugh, especially Ray Kreed to the TV Soap Director "Shut up you, you're fat and I'll throw you in the river" - I suppose you had to be there.
What a blinder! February 15, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful film. There's humour amongst the macho-posteuring of the "heavies", and the daftness of how even "hard men" can mess up an easy "sort-out" made me laugh out loud. No one tries to out-act or ham it up; it's like being in the same room as them because it's nicely understated when needed.The humour is excellent. Buy this film - you won't be disappointed.
The most funny gangster film ever! May 12, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Nearly every sentance said by the characters are all part of the comedy of the film. Anyone with a slight sense of humour will love this film and give it at least four stars.Great choice of actors for a London gangster movie, some of the actors added their own sense of humour to the script. Don't get me wrong this isn't just a load of funny crap, its a serious film with LOTS of black comedy and just generally funny and cool lines. You will keep repeating lines said by characters to your friends and will never forget them. Watch it once and you will probably think it's good. Watch it twice you will think it's brilliant.
Well Worth Watching February 2, 2007

When my wife suggested we watch this movie, I wasn't too keen. I'm very glad I did watch it, from the opening karaoke scene this film is a good old fashioned british mob movie.
It's incredibly funny at times, and the humour very black, but its just sooooo good! Ray Winstone is exceptional as the east end mob boss 'Ray' and Jude Law is also up there as his nephew 'Jude'. Ray Burdis is brilliant as Ray's second-in-command (also called Ray) who has erection problems, and spends most of the film wondering how he's going to satisfy his wife, played by the always funny Kathy Burke.
Most of the film tends to centre around a new boy to the gang - played by Jonny Lee Miller - who manages to get accepted into the east end gang, only to cause problems when he takes out two gang members from the south london gang, led by Sean Pertwee.
One of the funniest bits is the gun battle which takes place in a timber yard - Watch the film, and you'll see what I mean.
Other people starring in this film are Denise van Outen, Laila Morse (Mo' in eastenders) and also happens to be the sister of Gary Oldman! Rhys Ifans also appears.
One of the best british films in a long time, in my opinion.
Low-budget Thriller Comedy a Gem! October 9, 2000

Low-budget. Yes. Low-publicity. Definately. Rubbish. It is certainly not. This gem of a film is a feast for all those Lock, Stock-a-holics who can't get enough of the new wave of London gangster movies. If it's a recipe of violence, action, excitement and comedy that tantalises your cinematic taste buds then look no further and serve up this feast of a movie. The cast features many familiar faces from the UK's stable of acting talent. Denise van Outen also stars. Jude Law portrays the up-and-coming vilain superbly, Jonny Lee Miller is brilliant as the lunatic wanna be and Ray Winstone is awesome as the guv'nor. Support roles by Kathy Burke, Sean Pertwee and Rhys Ifans (to name but a few) are equally flawless. Many missed this film on the big screen. Be sure not to miss out on the small-screen release.
