Very Enjoyable Movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2000)

Jamie Bell and Gary Lewis were perfectly cast as son and father. They looked amazingly alike, and when they argued it was almost as if the same person was arguing with himself.
It was a joy to see Julie Walters, who just doesn't seem to do enough films, in this movie. In some ways, she was playing the "professor" role from Educating Rita this time! We will be seeing more of her soon as she's been cast in the upcoming Harry Potter movie.
I also have to agree with the other commenter who noted the "R" rating-it's almost purely for language, and probably a little for brawling. This is the sort of movie that kids should see, preferably with their parents.
