Review: Mr Nice

This movie, based on Marks's 1996 memoir Mr Nice is reminiscent at times of 24 Hour Party People, thanks to the light-hearted take on the protagonist's life story and various comedians popping up throughout in several roles.

Much like Coogan did in 2002, Rhys Ifans is a much playing himself as much as he plays Howard Marks and his natural charisma carries the film throughout. There's not much plot to speak of apart from going to different countries to get drugs, but like Marks himself there's a certain charm to it that makes sure it gets away with it in the end.
