"A wickedly funny film" according to the front cover of the DVD - attributed to 'Film Seekers'. Who? It's the funny that this rather gritty and serious film is lacking, although Maxine Peake is good. The in-betweener bits of her to camera don't really add anything and could safely be removed. Tony Pitts is the writer, and it seems a bit familiar - think
Little Voice but with comedy instead (of which there's precious little). An unsatisfying experience and not a little dull.
With Paddy Considine, Tony Pitts himself (
Line of Duty, My Mad Fat Diary, Remember Me, Scott and Bailey), Stephen Graham, Alun Armstrong, Christine Bottomley, Kevin Eldon, Hebe Beardsell and Macy Shackleton (the younger and even younger Funny Cows). Shot by Tony Slater-Ling in Panavision.
