Sunshine
Meet Bing (Steve Coogan). This lovable rogue has big plans. He’s going to make something of his life, be a provider for his girl Bernadette (Lisa Millet) and his young son Joe. There’s just one problem: Bing thinks his predilection for gambling is going to help him do so.
If there’s money for betting, he’ll find it and frequently lose it. And he’s always sorry. Until the next time. But for all his failings, Bernadette loves him; his perpetual joviality, optimism and grand fantasies for the future are usually enough to win her round. And as for Joe, well there’s always Grandad George (Bernard Hill) to cheer him on at Football matches when his Dad’s down the bookies. But when Bing’s penchant for gambling develops into an addiction which looms so large he loses his job, his home and eventually Bernadette and nearly his sanity, there is no ‘next time’.

If you like british films watch this.
Classic british film certainly not hollywood. Very gritty, true to life, harrowing at times, Funny at times, very sad at times. Great acting.
