  A really good Brit Film
  
  I am a big Gervais/Merchant fan, so I started out biased. However, I had also read film critics reviews of the film, which were not that favourable.

  WATCH IT!
  
  A real feel-good film with some of Ricky's brilliant dry humor in places. And a MK1 Capri less than 10 minutes in! Must watch!

  Expecting a great deal more
  
  To be honest I was expecting a great deal more from this movie. Lackluster in the extreme I felt. Everybody could have tried rather harder.

  A gentle film set in vintage years with a cracking soundtrack. Good performances all around and leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feel good buzz.

  Great Brit film
  
  Thoroughly enjoyed this movie, wasn't certain if I'd like it as I have good and bad RG views but this was a credit to RG & SM.

  I found this a charming story about 3 lads coming of age in a small town. Based in the 70's and full of the spirit of the age helped by a good soundtrack. I... read more »
