 Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, King Kong), Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G. Borat et al), Milo Twomey (Band of Brothers), Rebecca Craig (Casualty, Emma, Silent Witness) star in this recently discovered remarkable British comedy. The Jolly Boys Last Stand is a unique and unforgettable show of their raw talent available to rent and buy from 13th February 2006 (RRP £14.99)
When "El Presidente" of the Jolly Boys, Spider (Serkis) gets engaged, his oldest friend, confirmed batchelor and appointed best man, Des (Twomey),sees the end of the legendary drinking club. Des decides to film the run up to the wedding as a gift to the betrothed - hoping the on-screen carnage will de-rail the marriage. Instead he learns about true love and friendship - but maybe too late to repair the damage he's done. His wedding video is "The Jolly Boys Last Stand" - from proposal to crunch - a sublime mix of deadpan, heart-aching moments from some of today's most recognisable and talented stars.
