They land in Fiji with manager Craig Fairbrass (Simon) and are joined by local posh girl on a never ending gap year, bright young British talent Laura Aikman (Caroline). She cannot believe how ancient they are and does not hide it even when Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt suggest enough of the age reminders. After their gig in Lautoka Stadium, where Caroline thinks they have already written a song for her, and Simon tells her it is from the seventies, Francis and Rick escape the press and head off for a drink in a dockland bar. Here they see a murder organised by gangster Jon Lovitz (Wilson) and when they are found to have recorded evidence on their phone they spend the movie running for their lives. Nine new hit songs and nine reworked classics in what is an action packed very funny guilty pleasure.

Synopsis

French cook Jacques Fournier arrives in London convinced that renown and irascible British chef Victor is the father he never knew. Having found work in Victor's kitchen, Jacques sets up home and soon happens on his eccentric neighbours including the waif-like Stella who shows little interest in Jacques and even less in eating food.

Attracted to Stella, Jacques plans to tempt her with his fine cuisine but is caught red handed stealing the necessary costly ingredients from the restaurant. When confronted by a furious Victor, Jacques is forced to confess his true motive for coming to London. But Victor laughs off the assertion that he might be Jacques’ father and shows him the door.

His world shattered, Jacques returns home only to discover Stella unconscious following a binge on junk food, booze and pills. Recognising a fellow lost soul, Jacques refuses to leave Stella’s side until she consumes something. He sets them both a challenge: for him to prepare her a feast so delicate and alluring that she cannot resist. But in the mental struggle that follows, Stella’s eating disorder may prove just too much for love to overcome and for Jacques and Stella’s dysfunctional romance to survive.
