    Funny but forced

    I laughed a few times during this film and it had the cast and story to be a real success however for all its potential it just feels extremely forced and cringeworthy for the majority not laughs and heartwarming as it should have aimed to be. That being said on the whole I still enjoyed it but I certainly wasn't blown away.

    Surprise

    I didn't expect much from the title and the known storyline. But - while watching this movie I had tears in my eyes most of the time because either it was so funny or I was emotional moved. Good movie with very good actors. I will watch it again in some time.

    So enjoyable its actually real ..

    The movie says it's based on a true story but just right until the end when we see it is actually a true story :D :D

    The story itself is inspirational and purposeful .. the script was a synchronized balance between comedy, drama and bit of romance ... Aschlin Ditta is pone brilliant talent and it just took ma back ages when i knew he was one of the writers on "The Catherine Tate Show" ... wow .. been long time...

    final thought ... the movie is a really good movie with a good story and a lot of fun .. Recommended.

    Feelgood factor

    A lovely movie focusing on the importance of friendship and getting out of your comfort zone.

    Cult Classic to be

    A swift and arguably quite touching film, I was pleasantly surprised by the content. Great characters and an oddly interesting story there's a lot on offer here, similar to the likes of Hot Fuzz in terms of quality and rewatch value it feels like there's plenty to see and quite a lot put across in roughly 90 minutes. At its core a message regarding male mental health it's not only a decent quality film but arguably a quite important one that is well worth a watch
