I must admit before watching this I thought it was just going to be another run of the mill bio-pic, but I was surprised!
Rhys Ifans is outstanding in his portrayal of Peter Cook, to portray such a well known comedian without it appearing like a cheap impersonation can't be easy for an actor. Ifans pulls it off and gives a performance which is not only convincing but draws you in and moves you in some scenes.
Aidan McArdle puts in a good performance as Dudley Moore as well, the relationship between the two is convincing and they make you believe your watching Pete n Dud on screen.
The attention to detail in some of the more familiar scenes is also amazing, and it certainly helps convince you of some of the private conversations (which only Pete n Dud would know what was said and done) ring true.
It's one of the best biopics i've ever seen about anybody, it deserves 5 stars for Ifans portrayal alone.
