Feel like a British Film......
It's not remotely British, but it just feel like it.
Any one else?
My thoughts exactly.

same here..most likely because of the way they talk and how harold's mom act :3
shareI really thought that it was a British film and was very surprised to find out that it's in fact American. I guess it looked like drab British countryside, the rich mother had the sort of posh style which felt so British, older people fixated with WW2 and Germans = UK, clumsy and inefficient police officers remind more of England, the lack of any obvious American icons or objects or anything that would give away the location.... I dunno, but the whole movie definitely had the kind of quirky and dark humour that is more common in Britain than America I think.

Everything else about it was way more British than American---including the soundtrack! So, even though, yes, it's technically made in America, I still consider this film British in style and substance.
Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize! share
I know, right? Just saw it, and had to look it up on IMDb, to my surprise it wasn't British.
shareI agree. The movie felt very British when I watched it.
shareWhen I started watching, I thought it was a British film, which is ok. Harold's 'girlfriends' all had that British look, hairstyles and clothes, but spoke with American accents, which had me wondering, 'is this really British?'. Then we had the Army officer, who was wearing a US Army outfit, with an American flag in the background, which had me thinking 'ok, he's stationed in England, right?'. But the dead giveaway was: They're driving around in those big-ass cars from the 70's. Ok, we're in America!!!!
