Straight into my Top 10!

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2001)

I'm 50-odd and so have seen a few movies in my time but this one goes into my Top Ten with a bullet. While it follows a very similar theme to movies like 'Brassed Off' and 'The Full Monty' it leaves both in its wake. The acting from everyone was great, with Jamie Bell a standout ... how is he going to top that? Not far behind was that marvellous character actor Julie Walters who was outstanding as the hard-bitten dancing teacher. I didn't see it at the movies (wish now that I had) but for the first time in many years rewound the video and watched it again. Oh, nearly forgot - the music is brilliant.
