Excellent film for those who want to experience an uplifting moment

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2006)

This is a film that will be played and repeated on t.v.for many years. I cannot think of a film that has portrayed such an array of emotions throughout the whole film. It is a brilliantly written emotional roller coaster of a film, portraying how ones outward positiveness (mixed on this occasion with true naivety, humour and determination)can win over almost anyone, from anywhere and how one should follow their dream if it means that much to them to the exclusion of all others. At one stage I was not sure whether the tears in my eyes (which occurred more than any other film that I have seen) were through joy, happiness, sadness or humour. During one scene I have never laughed as much since watching Faulty Towers series for the first time when it was first televised! The down to earth dialogue between all the different variety of characters from many walks of life, was only superseded (for me that is) by the array of classic cars seen in a few of the scenes. As a confidence coach this film would be a priceless piece of material. My wife really did not want to see it but her first words afterwards were "absolutely brilliant" and I could not agree more and I cannot wait to take my 15 year old daughter and some other friends.
