Fanny & Elvis

1999

A breezy, chatty British romcom that coasts on warm banter and awkward domestic comedy rather than big laughs.

Directed by
Kay Mellor
Genres
Romance, Comedy
Tagline
An Inconceivably Romantic Comedy
Overview
Yorkshire writer Kate finds out her biological clock is ticking down the same day that her husband leaves her. To get over the financial crisis this creates she takes in car-dealer Dave. He's homeless as Kate's husband has moved in with his wife. This leaves the problem of how to get promptly pregnant. Surely not with increasingly interesting Dave. They can't even agree on a baby's name - he thinks Fanny is silly and she finds Elvis, well, inconceivable.
