Well, I was shocked when I saw this film. I do not ususaly read or follow critics views. Never was one for following other people's opionions especially from those who have never actually written or produced a film in thier lives. This time however I read Empire's review and I agree with the critic, totaly gripping. It's a slice of life that if you have close friends you will totaly get this film. Wonderful cast wonderful music wonderful film. Shame so little publicity. Although I understand that British airways were showing it on all international flights, two of my friends saw it and we of which I grew up with and agreed that it was a joy to watch.

To say it has no plot, Jasby!!? Shows just how much you understand film. I also noted that you have commented on no other films on the IMBD network, I wonder why that is!?

Hey anyway, if it gets out here in the states on video. Go see it.

It's all in the balance -
