Crap

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2001)

This film was totally boring to me, being as I'm not from Yorkshire or in my mid 40's. Its the simple, non brain stimulating adventures of a boy discovering the world of ballet, with the obvious homophobic father.. "I'm not having mah boy being no poofta!". It's the depressing struggle of boring Northern suburban life and its been done before many times.. father loses job etc etc. Quite frankly its crap and dull. The acting from the wannabe ballet dancer was average, though but next to the Sixth Sense kid its poop. Julie Walters plays EXACTLY the same role as usual and I'm getting a little fed up of her now.."ooh I knowww" I know she can act but variation is good every once and a while, isnt it? Anyway.. its a feel good film to watch with your middle aged wife, in front of the fire with a nice bowl of soup.... when there's b***er all else on the box.
