The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain

The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain, is a long title with a great overall premise. However, I found that the dialogue and most of the characters fell flat making the movie fail. The story is about an Englishman who is going around the country surveying land masses to calculate mountains for the king’s map. When he comes to a small Welsh village claiming that they have the first mountain in Wales, he calculates that it is only a hill. In response, all of the villagers pile dirt on the hill to make it a mountain. It’s a moving premise, but really, that’s all it has going for it. The acting is mostly stale and the romantic sub-plot is incredibly unnecessary and dull. At first, I thought it was just the Welsh accent, but no, this is genuinely bad acting. But that can’t take away from the sometimes funny story to it all. Overall, there really isn’t much to say about this one. It’s kind of dull, but if you’re looking for an inspirational film (Which, in these times, we all king of are) you will be relatively please, but overall, generally disappointing by the major mistakes of this movie. 4.6/10
