Sobre aquesta pel·lícula

Lifelong friends Wilf (Billy Connolly) and Reggie (Tom Courtenay), together with former colleague Cissy (Pauline Collins), are residents of Beecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi's birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for their home. But when Jean Horton (Maggie Smith), a former grande dame of the opera fallen on hard times, also Reggie's ex-wife and the fourth and most celebrated member of their former quartet, moves into the home to everyone's surprise, the plans for this year's concert start to unravel. As old grudges threaten to undermine past glories and theatrical temperaments play havoc with the rehearsal schedule, it becomes apparent that having four of the finest singers in English operatic history under one roof offers no guarantee that the show will go on. Quartet is a joyous and entertaining film about redefining old age and growing old with hope, demonstrating how art illuminates life and the human spirit remains undimmed even as the brightest stars start to fade.

Don't watch this if you only have the intelligence of a fruit fly and are expecting an "all-action", mindless movie with plenty of large explosions!

I'm sorry but this film seriously bored me, but 1 good thing I could say is that Billy Connolly was good but that is all, I'm never watching it again though.

It was OK Billy was a let down jokes were a bit flat, dont know why he was in it as the director was brilliant pulled it all together!
