4.0 out of 5 stars
Masterpiece Theatre interpretation of P.G. Wodehouse classic, August 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Hunger Strike & Matchmaker [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This VHS tape is based on one of the Jeeves and Wooster stories written by the incomparable P.G. Wodehouse. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie do a marvelous job of portraying the aristocratic gentleman's gentleman, Jeeves, and his bumbling master, Bertram Wilberforce Wooster. While unable to achieve quite the comic level of the original stories, which keep the reader in stitches (once one masters Wodehouse's very British dialogue), Hunger Strike and The Matchmaker are extremely entertaining. Set in one of Bertie's favorite haunts, his Aunt Daliah's country estate, Brinkley Court, the plot weaves in and out. Bertie's determination to help solve all his friends' problems without Jeeve's assistance makes for an amusing plot that has all the other 'inmates' out for his blood, until the inevitable. Jeeves takes a hand and resolves all the difficulties with his usual marvelous brainpower. Lots of fun and well worth the modest price. END
