Sticky Wickets(1990)

Sticky Wickets is a British comedy that unfolds over one fateful evening at the New Dragon Inn. A coach full of distinguished German guests arrives just as the local cricket team launches into their annual fancy dress party—with a Second World War theme. The collision between well-meaning revelry and deeply uncomfortable optics sets the stage for mounting chaos. As the night progresses, misunderstandings multiply and tensions rise, forcing the characters to navigate the minefield between innocent fun and cultural sensitivity. The film mines comedy from the awkward situations that ensue when good intentions collide with poor judgment, exploring themes of community, embarrassment, and the gap between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us.
