And I'm sure with his nice divorce settlement he will have the chance! In the meantime, his film Rocknrolla is a real good time. Yes the plot is outlandish (who knew American crayfish were so nasty!) but the actors all look like they are having a good time and the movie cruises along at a party pace. There are many funny sequences and when I told my sister as the credits started to roll that my personal highlight was watching Gerald Butler dance (in a way in which I can't reveal without spoiling the fun), the credits obligingly moved to the side and gave me some more dance footage - yay! Gerald Butler and his friends (hello Idris Elba/Stringer Bell!) are certainly the best part of the film but watching Tom Wilkinson bark at everyone has its charms as well.
I will say that Ritchie is still way off his pace - Lock, Stocking and Two Smoking Barrels was an absolute blast, Snatch couldn't quite hold up to that and Rocknrolla doesn't quite hold up to Snatch (who had an incomprehensible Brad Pitt to steal the show) but if you're just looking for a party, Rocknrolla could be your film.
