Just watched it on Channel 4 - what a complete and utter pile of abysmal steaming dross
 
That's two hours of my life I'll never get back
 
Why didn't they go all out and just call it Carry On Maggie? With Janet Brown in the title role, Sid James as poor old Denis and Kenneth Williams as Geoffrey Howe.
 
In fact, I'd go as far as saying that it was nothing more than a modern version of Spitting Image....
 
Except the Fluck & Law puppets didn't ham it up quite so much.
 
Awful.

Have to agree about this movie. It could have been a 3 part mini series on TV. Great acting, but the real title should have been Maggie goes mad. It's really more about dementia than anything else. Kind of sad really, and not what I expected.

I saw it was on Steve and decided that seeing as how much as I despise the woman in real life, (Thatcher - not Streep), I'd give it a wide berth.

Watched Aliens instead - the Xenomorphs were a lot more pleasant

I stuck it for about 10 minutes. The sight and sound of a Maggie clone made me feel queasy.

Didn't you watch the Bonneville documentary (think it was on at the same sort of time)?  Excellent, and they've only just got to the flats in part 1...

I wouldn't have been able to watch the Maggie film without either thinking of Dingoes, or saying "I had a faaahm in Aaaaarrrfricaah"

Rarely does a movie tempt me to set and watch it. 

The title generally tells be all I need to know and this one was no exception. (as are thousands of others)

So it's not a sequal to Iron Man?
