Surprisingly Different

I only watched this film as my preferred choice on the night was sold out and I'm glad it was.

I expected to watch a cross between Human Traffic and Kevin & Perry go Large but what I saw had a real plot, which left me feeling like I had watched a proper film as opposed to a meaningless collaboration of pointless and ridiculous rubbish.

The film deals with real issues, while providing characters who are so over the top that you don't take it to seriously. The film gives you laughs and smiles when it chooses and leaves you satisfied that your money was well spent.

Makes a change !!
