Hands down, this movie is the BEST movie i've ever seen in my puff! The "Glasgow Banter". That's what it's all about. If you are not from Scotland or Glasgow even, I doubt you will appreciate the humour.
I remember watching this film with a bunch of American friends. They simply didn't get it. But can you blame them? Only a true Scot would understand what the hell they were talking about.
The characters are not just characters in some small Scottish film, they are real people, planted all over Glasgow. In other words there is a Michael and Thomas in every pub and a little old woman (complaining about her ramp) in every tenement building. This is real life people, not just a "movie". To be honest, it's sort of a wake up call to the masses. This is what Glasgow is like, so if you want your head panned in, you are welcome to visit any time. I'm only joking.
I really don't know if I loved this movie so much because, it's very seldom a real good Glasgow film is made, or because I can relate to everything that happened in the storyline. It's hard to tell.
So if you would like to see what Glasgow is like and what the people here have to offer I advise you 2 give it a watch, it's well worth it. Oh n the subtitles r always available for your viewing pleasure.
ENJOY...
