Nice guy Colin (played by Michael Sheen) is everybody's pal. By day, he runs a corner store. At night, he heads to the pub to play darts and that's pretty much his life. His wife, Sandra (played by Jane Robbins), has never been very faithful, but when she runs off with local policeman and fellow darts enthusiast Geoff (played by Jim Carter), Colin realises that he needs her, and takes off to Blackpool on a moped in order to win her back.
Along the way, he meets a myriad of amusing and helpful characters who aid him in his journey and make him see that he hasn't exactly been experiencing life to the fullest. This warm British road comedy was written by Paul Fraser, a frequent collaborator to Shane Meadows (Once Upon A Time In The Midlands).

Heartlands (2003)
Strange film reminiscent of the stories from the 60s. Its innocence keeps you hanging on waiting for something to happen, but it never quite does.
