I think you have to understand British humor and drama(as I do) to get this movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2002)

I lived in England over 5 years, and over there picked up the 'British Humor' that is so often misunderstood. Most think it's just more raunchy(which sometimes is true in their sitcoms over there) but there is so much more to it as well. Billy Elliot is just this-a British film, with British drama and humor, that most would not recognize. So if you liked films like 'The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain' you'll love Billy Elliot! 3.5/5 stars--
