Storyline

When Stevie meets Neil on the day he comes to deliver her brand new kitchen, it's already too late for love at first sight. Too late for both of them. Stevie is already five minutes pregnant by her Italian footballer husband. And too late for Neil too - his wife Jenny has already applied to adopt an African girl. But too late or otherwise, love at first sight is exactly what happens. How can Neil and Stevie get out of their mistaken marriages and into each others arms?

Trivia

The production was supported by Newcastle City Council and other regional agencies to try and promote a more positive image of Tyneside. However the film never secured wide distribution and its own limited run in Newcastle earned less than £1,200.

User Reviews

Like a really good kitchen - but funnier

A really funny film with great performances all round. Was on TV last night and went on to after 1am - We couldn't turn it off, and I never stay awake that late generally!

Justine Waddell I had never heard of before but I couldn't take my eyes off her, and my wife is now in love with Richard Roxburgh! Jonathan Cake was perfect as the caricature of an Italian footballer and even Patsy Kensit didn't annoy me for once. Michael Hodgson as Stan the unlikely stud was hilarious.

The unlikely plot did not matter one jot as those great performances and the incredibly witty dialogue made it so easy to suspend disbelief. Newcastle looked great, too.
