Rough Around the Edges (2009)
Very Funny, At last, some everyday humor

This film has something for everyone,Rough around the edges ??? Yes but thats what its all about !! Good script well put together and plenty of laughs,the use of young actors in normal everyday settings is good. I like the use of a Country and western singer to tell the story interesting especially when it doesn't match the subtitles. Credit must be given to Jim Dickinson, Jess Hinchliffe and the small crew who worked on a very low next to nothing budget. You have to be a morbid SOB to not enjoy this. Given the budget, a great piece of work. I liked it so much I got in touch with the Director to hopefully join the cast or crew of the next sequel Well done to all concerned and I look forward to the next one
