You will probably react to this documentary in one of two ways. Some people will see it as a "mock"umentary, having a cheap laugh at the expense of the peculiarities of some of the trainees and guests, some will see it as a light hearted look into the lives of people who just so happen to have learning diificulties. It is easy to see why anyone could take this view as some of the characters and situations are just naturally comical. If you choose to interpret this as the film makers exploiting the situation then that would be a shame. It would defeat the object of the film if the trainees acted as any "normal" person, plus it would be a lot less interesting! My opinion is that it is an interesting, thought provoking,funny and sad insight into how people with disabilities can integrate into society. Yes, it is narrated in a tongue in cheek manner, but I do not believe the film makers object was to trivialise or devalue the students achievements or personal aspirations. Surely we have all seen too many overly serious and depressing films on special needs. Why not have a fun and light hearted film for a change? Along with the sister film "The strangest village in Britain" , this is an absolute must see whether you agree or disagree with the production style.
