It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

To compare Back in Business with a modern day Film is like saying that a child's homemade go-cart and a Ferrari are comparable as they both have wheels and are capable of independent movement. Back In Business is not a conventional film, per se. It's a product of old cinema which was more about outrageous exhibition as about story telling - It's a Mad (5) World, What's New Pussycat, Barbarella. They're big, flabby, self-indulgent, glorious messes that stand as social commentary as much as cinema.The in-jokes, the winking references, the cameos - all are used to great effect in Back In Business. Great music, great costumes, some good sets, wall of sound - all make Back In Business a little piece of 60s film-making for the modern day. Please don't watch it if you want to watch a competent and engaging movie - but do watch it if you want 90 mins of nostalgia and silliness and stupid enjoyment Then Enjoy This Film

Difficult where to start with this pig of a movie.... although it hasn't beaten the title of worse British movie ever (which I still believe 'Sex Lives of the Potato Men' will hold forever) it has little to recommend it.I caught it on a movie channel, and was interested only because Chris Barrie was in it. As a huge Red Dwarf fan, I look forward to see the actors in that appear in other things. He shone in the Tomb Raider movies as the groovy butler Hilary, so when I sat down to watch this film I expected great things.I certainly set myself up for a big fall. It comes to something that the only funny bits are the end credit bloopers.It just looked like cheap tat, and I thought the British Film industry had left this sort of weak stuff behind (see previous comment about the Potato Men) but this just lets old Blighty down.If any non Brit comes across this in the bargain bin or on a cable channel, don't judge us too harshly, we didn't know.... we are innocent.We need more Sexy Beasts and Lock Stocks and less of this insipid stuff.

This is English film making at its worst, i really do not know how or why it got funded in the fist place, it has some good actors, Dennis Waterman, Brian Blessed and Martin Kemp, and putting aside his days as bass player with Spandau Ballet, a very good actor, so again, why would they take on this project, money, fame, favor, suicide. To cut to the chase, we have a pair of con men, one of which is a lord of the realm (nothing new there then)and his old school mate, together they are know as, wait for it, Marks & Spencer, paaleese, must have had an epiphany to think of that, and it gets worse, after conning three country's into buying Londons Tower Bridge, the two are back together to steal and sell a space buggy type vehicle, that was invented by the BSA, (British Space Agency) to either the Russians or the Chinese, what a plot, to be honest i never knew we had a space agency, the UK was not one of the first to put anyone on the moon as far as i remember, back to the plot. The thing is there is no space buggy type vehicle, because the BSA ran out of money before it was completed, so what do Marks & Spencer do, they build one from one of those little trucks gardeners use, with some tin foil, wheels from a mini tractor, bits from here and there and lo and behold we have a blue print built, state of the art space buggy vehicle. Needless to say the Russians, the Chinese are in the frame to buy this item for millions, and to be honest who cares, so i am as fed up with writing this review as watching the thing, but i wanted to let you know before you spend your hard earned money, miss this like the plague, in fact the plague may be a better alternative. be safe

Gone are the days when every new ITV drama came equipped with the words 'starring Martin Kemp', so the title of this new film applies as much to him as it does the pair of conmen reunited for the greatest job of their lives. Kemp is Will Spencer, working alongside his old partner, master of disguise Tom Marks (Red Dwarf's Chris Barrie) and his spectacularly incompetent son, Travis (Stefan Booth). Their ace in the hole, however, is Will's niece Fiona (Joanna Taylor), who works at the British Space Centre, where they've just developed a space buggy that could help solve planet's energy and ecological problems. This group of misfits and insiders plan to put themselves at the centre of Britain's major scientific breakthrough. Only Dennis Waterman as Jarvis - the Inspector Clouseau of Scotland Yard - can stop them.Back In Business is the kind of gentle family caper movie that used to be a staple of British cinema back in the days of the Boulting Brothers and Ealing Studios. Sadly, though, this has neither the wit nor insight into the social fabric of those golden movies. Instead we get an anodyne adventure that limps along with a bunch of performances that would be better suited to Sunday evening TV comedy dramas than the big screen. It may be a while before Martin Kemp can give up the sofa adverts...
