Absolutely inspirational.

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2001)

An excellent movie. My wife is from this part of England and can relate to the culture and conditions. Some reviewers have called this movie's plot predictable. So, what's wrong with that? Aren't many great movies predictable i.e. Westerns, war movies. A movie doesn't have to be groundbreaking to be thoroughly enjoyable. Jamie Bell was wonderful as Billy and the final breathtaking scene of the adult Billy brought tears to our eyes. The message is, if you have a dream, go for it.
