The Lad's done well !

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 1998)

Sitting in the cinema 10 minutes into this film, thought to myself "I was told that this was quite Funny, but nothing has happened yet". 5 minutes later I was ready to get my coat.
But then Vinnie appeared, If you live outside of the UK, you may never have heard of Vinnie Jones before so will have no idea why he may well be the main reason that many people (like myself) went to see this film. Vinnie is a professional footballer, and when I heard that he was to be given a reasonable sized part in a low budget movie, I was curious just to see how truly awful both he and the film would be. I could not have been more wrong, both Vinnie and the film are absolutely superb ( I think Vinnie outshines a lot of professional actors I have seen).
From the Moment Vinnie arrives the humour starts. In a tale that involves what seems to be too many separate stories to possibly gel at the end, the laughs come thick and fast. This is humour of a Pulp Fiction kind, watching someone get beaten up should horrify you, but in this film its hysterical ! It's quirkiness and the relationship between the 4 friends that are the main characters reminded me a bit of "Swingers".
Am I now going to give away the plot ?
No! this is my first ever review, so I'll leave the rest to the professionals.
All I will leave you with is my opinion.
This is a GREAT movie, go see it
