LOVE, HONOUR AND OBEY...
INTERVIEWS WITH THE CAST AND REVIEW OF THE MOVIE - RELEASE DATE IRELAND APRIL 7

Following in the footsteps of The Grays and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Love, Honour and Obey is yet another cockney gangster movie. The only difference is this one has a dash of comedy.

Written, Produced and Directed by Dominic Anciano and Ray Burdis. The film stars Sadie Frost, Ray Winstone, Johnny Lee Miller, Jude Law, Denise Van Outen, Sean Pertwee, Kathy Burke and Rhys Ifans.

In short Love, Honour and Obey is riding on the coat tails of the 1998 hit Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Don't take our word for it, take the word of Ray Burdis one of the men who, wrote, produced and directed it. "It is riding on the coat tails of Lock, Stock," Burdis told showbizireland.com. "But, that's not the worst thing I feel.

The film is based on the loner who wants the make into the world of the big time gangster in the underground London of today. Johnny (played by Johnny Lee Miller-sickboy in Trainspotting) dreams of leaving his dead end job as a courier. Through his best friend Jude (Jude Law) nephew of the notorious crime lord Ray Kreed (Ray Winstone) he wins his way into the toughest gang in North London. Hungry for some real gangster action , Johnny sparks a deadly feud between Ray's gang and another firm in South London. When a full scale war erupts between the two sides, culminating in a murder at Ray's wedding, Ray and his opposite number in South London both decide the Johnny must be stopped at all costs.

Making her movie premier in Love, honour is former Big Breakfast presenter Denise Van Outen. Van Outen plays the role of Maureen the sex bomb girlfriend of Dominic Anciano's character. "Fortunately she's from Essex and a bit of a flirt. Rather like an exaggerated version of myself, so it wasn't too difficult to play" claims Denise.

Speaking to showbizireland.com in the Dorchester hotel in London Van Outen admitted that she was nervous about appearing in such steller company.

"I'm the least experienced actor here and the first day I was just so scared." She recalled. "My first scene was with Kathy Burke, who is one of my favourite actors and I was terrified. But she was lovely and made me feel really comfortable."

Having got over that Denise says she then got into the movie and the improvisation. "It forces you to be really on the ball and to think really quickly all the time. I think my years on The Big Breakfast really helped with that. I mean that was a three hour live show with no script."

All in all a good night out at the movies. A dash of comedy, the odd bit of violence and overall good acting. It's not the Godfather but it is definately worth spending a fiver and two hours on.
