Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis is a British comedy film that features an all-star cast including Daniel Abineri, Danny Aiello, and Justin Avoth. The movie was released in 1997 and was directed by John Henderson. The film tells the story of three young musicians, Max (Abineri), Ray (Avoth), and Ken (Andrew Tiernan), who are desperate to make it big in the music industry. They are struggling to get signed by a record company, and their dreams seem to be slipping away.

One day, Max comes up with a crazy idea to kidnap Mavis Davis (Jane Horrocks), a famous pop singer, to force her to give them a record deal. Though initially doubtful, Ray and Ken eventually go along with the plan.

The trio kidnaps Mavis and takes her to a secluded location in Scotland. However, things quickly spiral out of control when they discover that Mavis is not the sweet and innocent pop star they thought she was. She is instead a rude, arrogant, and demanding diva who will do anything to get what she wants.

As they spend time with Mavis, the trio begins to realize that they may have bitten off more than they can chew. They realize that their plan to get a record deal may not be as straightforward as they first thought, and that Mavis may be more trouble than she's worth.

Meanwhile, Mavis' husband, Vince (Aiello), and her record label manager, Benny (Rik Mayall), launch an investigation to find the missing star.

The film has many hilarious moments as the three kidnappers try to cope with Mavis' outrageous demands while keeping her hidden from the outside world. The film is a classic British comedy and is filled with witty one-liners and amusing situations.

The performances in the film are superb, with Jane Horrocks giving an outstanding portrayal of the spoilt and demanding Mavis Davis. Danny Aiello and Rik Mayall provide great comic relief in their respective roles as Mavis' husband and record label manager.

Daniel Abineri, Justin Avoth, and Andrew Tiernan give great performances as the three inept kidnappers, with their bumbling attempts to keep Mavis hidden being some of the funniest moments in the film.

Overall, Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis is an entertaining, irreverent and funny film that will leave audiences both laughing and cringing at the same time. It is a must-see for anyone who loves classic British comedy films.
