      A major plot point of the film is Chris's christian cross hanging from the rear view mirror of his driving school car. This is illegal in GB and would actually fail an MoT test were the car old enough.

    Shouldn't be half as bad as it is
    Quite simply this is rubbish.

    It shouldn't be. Look at all the people involved who have a talent for this sort of comedy/drama.

    And yet the main character is so annoying that it kills the whole piece.

    A shame.
