A Rollicking good story

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2004)

I have seen reviews saying this is a "very cheesy" movie, I disagree with this, it could have been overly sentimental as well, like a lot of hollywood "true stories". However this film is well written and well-made with good performances from the cast. - This is definitely an above average movie, with a good story, that doesn't rely on violence and special affects or hollywood shmoltz. Indeed I know my teenage nephews went to see it at the cinema and thoroughly enjoyed it, definitely one for all the family. I have purchased the DVD, which I am glad about, as I will watch it again. A very enjoyable way to spend 2 hours.
