The Other Half on DVD (2005)

ACot from Hampshire , 13/06/2006

The idea of this film was brilliant, to plan your honeymoon secretly around the football. It was nothing short of terrible.

The acting, the writing and the storyline was nothing short of pathetic. The music was dreadful, no normal music themes at all.

I would rather watch 'CBeebies'

Lets be totally honest, this film is a stinker! .. however, it does get better ..

The script is cak, to put it mildly. Shot against the colourful backdrop of the 2004 European Championships in Portugal, it tells the story (sic!) of a newlywed husband who has sneakily organised his honeymoon to coincide with the Tournament, without his wife knowing ..

The normally excellent Danny Dyer looks at pains with the whole thing, and in the real world such an action from a newlywed husband would result in him getting his b*lls cut off! (thankfully my wife likes footy!)

Gillian K. trades in her Brookside scouse for the worse attempt at an american accent this side of Felicity Kendall in 'Honey for Tea'! .. She is kinda cute though ..

Vinny Jones - Why? .. and as for the two 'fly on the ball' guys, they are simply irritating & baffling ..

Worth watching out for the beautiful Portugese singer Fado too, and good bonus features with 'making off', and a Danny Dyer interview ..

The biggest pile of rubbish that i have had the mis-fortune of watching in a long time. I love my football, and thought this may be ok, but it was awful.

The acting was shocking, Vinnie Jones is a former welsh player for heaven's sake; and i just got bored after 10 minutes.

Avoid it like the plague, take your wife out clothes shopping for an hour and a half......it will be much more entertaining!

I'd never heard of this film before I rented it but I like Danny Dyer and football so I thought I'd give it a go. I wish I hadn't. This film is so poorly scripted, poorly casted and boring. This is without doubt the worst film I have ever seen.

I'd rather have a vasectomy than watch this again.

This film has NO redeeming attributes. A diatribe of disconnected annectdotal nonsense interspersed with poor quality, juvenile cartoon clips, it is thoroughly borinig and totally predictable from start to finish.
