You can't really extrapolate a feeling for the whole film from the giant pig on the hotel door key, but it does send you in the right direction - this is reasonably enjoyable nonsense. A fund manager (Danielle Macdonald) journeys to Scotland to be tutored by tough opera teacher Joanna Lumley, who's given no character back-story. There we meet a young man who's also in training, and has been for five years - W1A's Hugh Skinner. Gary Lewis is the pub/hotel owner where we're sort of in Local Hero mode - more could have been made of the regulars also being opera fans.
Overall it's odd, underwritten and predictable.
