Grand Slam

Loved this movie absolutely loved it I wish there'd be a sequel Maldwyn Pugh was hilarious "he's here he's there he's everywhere." Windsor spot on Dewie morris as playboy son of undertaker was superb and of course the legend that is Tenby's Hugh Griffith's of Hollywood fame no actor said more with his eyes and eyebrows in the history of popular entertainment.

It seems Mr Griffith's made a few other welsh and rugby films as well as British classics like kind hearts and coronets. A run for your money is hilarious welsh rugby movie too.

Great to see a welsh film though. Makes a change there's so few of them and they're just so original the best types of movies in my humble opinion are the ones which bring in a lot of balance , qualities and true culture. If I see a British movie, the best ones are the ones that have the best variety and balance, story and characterisation are huge too in Britain the best movies combine the Irish, Scots, English and welsh and throw in a few American and European influences and you get magic like, remains if the day, Lion in winter, Zulu.

This is what puts the great in great Britain

What goes on tour stays on tour. Well not this time anyway, the boys from a small welsh village are away to France for the Grandslam match.

A truly delightful film to watch again and again regardless of your nationality and sport you follow. Mog and the boys do what they can to make the weekend one to remember, which includes strip clubs, dust ups and getting collars felt by the local Gendarme.

"Some have been know not to make it to the match, some were known not to get back to Wales" warns Mog.

I wholly recommend this film.

10/10

I disagree with the comments that only Welsh people will enjoy Grand Slam. I traveled Australia last year and was very shocked to learn that it was quite popular there also. Perhaps it's a rugby thing. I have also showed it to some English and American friends (who have no concept of Welshness) and they enjoyed it also.

It has everything you could possibly want. A solid storyline, great humour, drama (on occasion), great comics, attractive women and a Hollywood (Oscar winner) legend in Hugh Griffith.

If you get a chance to see this (no matter where you live), see it. It'll make you want to have a weekend in Paris with your drinking buddies at the least.

I've heard of caterpillars turning into butterflies, but never.......

Rugby and Wales, hand in hand like coffee and cream, so sit back, get your laughing gear ready, wherever you're from, and prepare for a classic Welsh comedy.

Grand Slam follows a group of Welsh rugby fans in Paris, for the game that could see Wales lift the as was five nations trophy.

It's glorious, it's wonderful, it's passionate, it's hard not to fall in love with every single character.

Littered with funny scenes, nothing funnier than Windsor Davies's strip....he's better than she was, scream out loud funny.

The authentic filming is a huge plans, so it looks awesome, lovely to look back at some of the Welsh greats.

Huw Griffith and Windsor Davies are awesome, Sion Probert is a riot.

Glorious, 10/10.

It doesn't matter whether you are Welsh or not or whether you love rugby, good comedy is always funny. This film has a lovely down to earth feel that all will appreciate.

If you are Welsh then you'll appreciate the humour and it will feel very familiar even if you don't love rugby. If you do love rugby then it's even more enjoyable.

If you are not Welsh then the comedy, story and charisma of the main stars will entertain you anyway.

Windsor Davies and Oscar winning Hugh Griffith are my favourites but my wife loves camp Boutique owner "Maldwyn" played by Sion Probert.

It's only an hour long but manages to pack in comedy, violence, sex, sport and camaraderie.

In a year that Wales won a fantastic Grandslam (2005) what more can you ask for from a motion picture?
