Description: The Search for John Gissing starring Alan Rickman, Janeane Garofalo, Mike Binder, Frank Harper, Caroline Holdaway, Juliet Stevenson and Sonya Walger; written and directed by Mike Binder. The Story: Matthew Barnes is a young exec on the move up but he finds himself a pawn in corporate in-fighting when he's sent to London to oversee a merger. Beyond the merger, he is to replace John Gissing (Rickman). Gissing has already gotten wind of what's coming and makes sure that Matthew and his wife Linda have a miserable first few days. By the time Matthew figures out what's happening and starts a counter offensive, it may be too late to save himself. Comment: Clever British comedy-drama that's almost a throw-back to the 70's style of humor. The first half of this movie is laugh-out-loud funny with madcap misadventures and a bit of a mystery as well. Writer/director/star Mike Binder is quite likable as the everyman-underdog hero. He looks and acts so much like Ben Stiller than that they might have hired Stiller instead. Garofalo is her usual wise-cracking persona. Alan Rickman steals the show, proving that he can deliver comedy as well as drama. Comment on this DVD release: According to IMDB (and the label) this film has not been rated.
