What they need is a star attraction.The career of Jefferson Lee, Hollywood action hero is on the skids, his relationship with his daughter is in freefall - what he needs is a job and kudos. For Jefferson, the chance to play King Lear in Shakespeare's home town looks to be a high profile solution. This the first of many comic misunderstandings in this highly enjoyable. Formally a 2008 film starring Burt Reynolds, Imelda Staunton and Derek Jacobi.

This lively comedy does contain strong language.
