    Pretty Rubbish

    Very disappointed with this film. Read the hype and thought it had potential. However, poor acting poor accents and a pretty rubbish film. Watched it to see Dundee which was the only good thing about the film. More research should have been done as the language used was not typical Dundonian. Spent half the time watching it laughing at the accents and poor acting. Not a great film rather disappointing.

    Charm and energy.

    As an actor when you appear in something it's very difficult to be objective. At the premier you sit there just preying your scenes are ok. But this time it's different. I genuinely forgot I'm in Schemers. I loved it. I laughed in all the right places. It's so good I genuinely forgot I'm in it! Schemers strength is its characters, It's situations, the brilliant tale of Dave McLean played wonderfully by the outstanding Conor Berry. But the real star of this gem of a movie is Dundee itself. A unique place with a humour and charm all it's own. I am Biased but I loved this movie. It sold out at its premier and all I heard was laughter and excitement. So proud of this wonderful movie.

    Horrible casting. Horrible music. Horrible accents.

    I hate movies with children playing characters that are involved in adult situations that children are never involved in. Whoever casted this movie did a horrible job as it is not realistic in the slightest. And the music is 25 years too late. And the accents are too much gibberish. Its really hard to sit and watch this junk.

    Stop rating your own movie

    I do wish this yesteryear practice of getting your friends to 'review' your film would stop. No one but no one can think this is 10/10..It's complete rubbish. The truth,[oh that, is there is zero story being told here, and considering Davie in real life has so many stories to tell, that's the tragedy of this horror. It has it all, bad editing, a dirty lens, I kid you not, and barley any errrr music in it. Had they of made a documentary then it could of been really something. But like everything in the music biz, that would only upset the hand that feeds.

    A great little British movie that does not try to jump the shark

    I really liked this film, is is a fun tale that rattles on a good pace, is well acted and has a cracking soundtrack.

    The characters are likeable and the plot is good and believable. The best thing is though is doesn't go past believable at any point like do many did British films.

    A good watch I would recommend to anyone.
