Everybody Loves Sunshine

i watched this film straight after watching triads yardies and onion bhajees and was struck by the similarities in tone and filming methods. andrew goth plays a gangster trying to go straight by building up a music career but his cousin goldie decides to ruin everything. the locations are gloomy and you just know that everyone is going to suffer in this film. like triads, yardies and onion bhajees there is a gang war element to the film with the combined black and white gangs taking out the Chinese. a shootout in a Chinese restaurant is bloody and David bowie also stars as a sleezy gang leader. this film never got seen by a wider audience and its a pity because it is a good example of the new style of film making coming out of the uk. get it if you can on DVD as it is quite cheap to buy.

Despite the low budget and often unfocused script, this gangster thriller from Andrew Goth proves to be quite absorbing. Notable for a fleeting appearance by David Bowie as a camp underworld villain who loves to say "Sweet as a nut" a lot, this is really a vehicle for Wolverhampton's Goldie, the best selling musician and now actor who looks like he was born to plays bad guys. It's an often violent affair with Goldie's character proving to be a little too terrifying, especially when he assaults gorgeous newcomer Rachel Shelley. Some memorable scenes: Goldie, his head framed almost in a religious aura; the Black Rain style face off with Chinese gangsters and a decent dance number near the movie's finale. Reminiscent of Danny Cannon's The Young Americans, this looks to be a suitable calling card for any Hollywood producer looking to hire Goth for an American project. No classic but try and stick with it as there are a few diamonds in the rough.

I caught this film on Sky Premiere and it is undoubtedly one of the worst films I have ever seen.Pathetic acting,badly directed,sloppily paced and devoid of any tension or excitement whatsoever-this film has it all.Characters traits seem to change from scene to scene and big plot moments come out of nowhere with no explanation behind them. Clumsy and pathetic,I will never get back the hour and a half this rubbish took from my life.

Based in MANCHESTER not London: they are 2 totally different cities and cant be confused with each other. Revolves around the huge gang problems found in Manchester in a mock Lock, Stock.. style and also trying to emulate the panache of a Tarantino. The film fails at both though!It is worth a watch for an alterantive British movie although the mediocre cast could never have made the film great - especially equipped with one of the poorest scripts I've ever seen. Bizarre fact is that the films countryside shots were filmed on the Isle Of Man in the Irish Sea - even though Machester is surrounded by huge amounts of land identical to that found on the Isle Of Man!

This gritty, urban saga is not an easy movie to watch but it is such brilliant filmmaking that it will stay with you for a long time.

Inhabited by carefully drawn individuals and acted with a natural but grim reality. The film looks fabulous , the visual version of techno music, all black and shiny and more than a little dangerous. The music is also phenomenal.

This movie has all the makings of a classic tragedy and it delivers! Director Andrew Goth's writing is taut and effective. His direction is wonderfully stylized and enormously potent. And he is absolutely right in the role of Ray, the gentler cousin. David Bowie pops up throughout the film and brings a calming presence to the mayhem. And finally, Goldie, the music sensation is amazing and a very scary guy.
