BEST OF BRITISH ??

Rating: 5/10 (3 October 2000)

Misunderstood northern boy who finds an outlet in an unlikely subject. Hang on a minute that was done in "Kes", and better for it too. An unashamed crowd-pleaser, and very much a woman's film. It all resolves itself far too quickly and neatly. Entertaining multiplex fodder, but certainly not as good as it's been painted.
