Get over it...

Rating: 5/10 (16 April 2001)

Wait a minute, can everyone just calm down for one minute and think about this film for a bit. It is not the best British film for ages, just the best of an extremely poor bunch of British films released last year. To see it get Oscar nominations is laughable considering the weak and overly sentimental story. I mean, how many working-class comes good films do we want to make in England? After this, The Full Monty and Brassed Off I think we've all seen enough.
All in all, a vastly over-rated film that has seen far too much success than it deserves. Do yourself a favor and see one of the many films from 2000 that were better than this - Memento immediately springs to mind.
5/10
