    although that may not be saying much. you definitely won't regret renting it although, like me, you may find it weird that the various characters in the Midlands speak a range of accents from around the UK and in particular Kathy Burke's sarf London mum is the brother of Robert Carlyle's character who speaks with a broad Glaswegian accent.

    Very good British comedy drama about a love triangle , funny, but sinister, characters are all wacky but credible. Very watchable and recommended.

    Couldn't be bothered with this film. Thirty minutes in I understood that it was one too many British actors doing their usual thing.

    Jonny's verdict: Kathy come home

    With a good cast of actors and a reasonable story line this should have been a classic British comedy. The only drawback is that it just isn't very funny. Come to think of it, I find that most films with characters described as 'oddball' or 'screwball' tend to be disappointing!
