Excellent! Best British film in ages!

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2004)

An absolutely excellent film! I've never seen 'Spaced' and didn't really think it'd be my kind of humour but the trailer interested me. Not only the best British film i've seen in ages, THE best film I've seen in ages. At last a homegrown film that isn't full of the sickening schmaltz of the likes of 'Love Actually', or the ridiculous toff characters that no one can really relate to. It is a film about real people acting like real people. Funny, gripping and reaching amazing levels of emotional involvement. The closing siege in The Winchester is compelling and better than anything you'll see in the Hollywood pap that is supposedly better.
Not sure how it will travel beyond Britain. Deserves to be a huge hit but the American market will no doubt overlook it or might not 'get' it. An excellent film! It has inspired me to go and check out 'Spaced' and I hope there is more to come from this team. If not a sequel a prequel about the characters daily lives would be of equal appeal although probably less dramatic!
