Another example of how the Rik Mayall Presents strand allowed him to showcase his more serious side.
Mayall is certainly restrained as Toby. A single parent, a former teacher now a law student and a part time minicab driver to make ends meet.
One night Toby gives a distraught Clair (Serena Scott Thomas) a lift who seems she has just had a break up or an argument.
The next night Toby is called for a lucrative pick up. Only for the house where he collects a woman from, blows up. The woman turns out to be Clair.
On the back seat is Annie, his daughter who is going to celebrate her birthday. Only for Toby is now forcible on the run with Claire.
In hot pursuit is Terry (Mark Frankel) her unhinged boyfriend.
Clair de Lune is a dark comedy thriller. In the style of John Landis's Into the Night. It is a little bit too low budget and lacks real menace.
