Dans les années 1970, à Londres, Alan Bennett (Alex Jennings), auteur de pièces de théâtre, habite le quartier de Camden Town. En face de chez lui, une drôle de vieille dame vit dans une camionnette. Peu à peu, une étrange relation se développe entre eux, et miss Shepherd (Maggie Smith) finit par s'installer dans l'allée de la maison de Bennett... (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment FR)

Maggie Smith played the role of a granny from a well-known British play. A granny who smells like a spoiled egg and swears like a sailor. A granny who pushes her way in front of the house of the most boring writer under the sun. And since Alex Jennings doesn’t hide it at all, the whole movie goes on is a similar fashion. If it weren’t for Maggie and the English locations, it would be even worse than it is.

This is a concert by Maggie Smith, who shows that it is possible to be a great actress at any age, you just need a good role. This role is good, but overall the movie falls behind a bit and I couldn't get into it for most of the running time. Especially as a comedy, it works kind of strangely and definitely may not captivate you.
