Rating: 2/5 -- Clunky and affected, with too little drama to carry the narrative. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- A fine Scottish cast includes Gregor Fisher, John Sessions and Kevin Guthrie but even their best efforts cannot save this forgettable film. Full Review

[Director Gillies] MacKinnon doesn't update the story; he relishes its solid, old-fashioned quality. Full Review

Beyond simple nostalgia ... the appeal of this limp retread is difficult to discern. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- A dry and surprisingly dull film, it is a comedy which doesn't induce a single laugh and a drama that doesn't engage emotionally or pull on the heartstrings at all. Full Review

There's little to dislike about this second shot of "Whisky," with its appealing ensemble and hat-in-hand approach to the Ealing playbook; there's just equally little reason for it to exist. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Its setting on the imaginary isle of Todday off the west coast of Scotland lends itself to gorgeous colour photography and the gentle, subversive wit of the 1949 version has been left intact. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Whisky Galore! is the charming and heart-warming tale of a community of Islanders on a remote Scottish Island during WW2 coming together to relieve a sinking ship of its amber cargo. Based on the true story of the cargo ship SS Politician running aground off the coast of Eriskay in 1941 and the ensuing battle between the Excise Men and the locals trying to salvage the lucrative cargo, "that of 50,000 cases of Whiskey". The shipwreck and its cargo was like manna from heaven to the Islanders, whose island was totally 'dry', without any type of alcohol, which some would say is part of the life blood of the Scottish Islands! Starring Gregor Fisher, Eddie Izzard, Sean Biggerstaff, James Cosmo, Ellie Kendrick, Kevin Guthrie and Naomi Battrick.
